Magna and the ridiculous DeFrancis deal

[takeout]

I’ve been wondering what was going on with this “8oo lb. gorilla in the room”. Certainly the main deal breaker for any potential bidders, I would think.

It's actually the "elephant in the room" but I get it..
After reading this story I got headache.
THe political nonsense on this is enough to make one want to walk away I disgust.
It seems all either side cares about is being right.
Meanwhile the hole in the ship's hull does not get fixed.

I would love to know what Magna was thinking (or smoking?) when they signed off on that one. They probably should’ve all been tested. :D

is it any wonder why magna is going belly up. the funniest part of this deal is back in 2002 churchill wanted to buy the tracks and was bidding against magna for them, and wouldn't agree to this foolishness. so magna basically bidded against themselves on this. the real shame is the md breeders and horseman have been suffering for a long time because of this.
