Ritvo threatening to close Golden Gate today.
Jeremy BalanVerified account @BH_JBalan
Ritvo emphasized he wants to run year-round at Golden Gate Fields. He doesn't want to close, and wants to run more dates. He just doesn't want to be a part of what he feels is a NOTWINC deal that is losing money.

CHRB's exec. director Rick Baedeker calls Tim Ritvo's accusations "not accurate." One of Ritvo's claims is that the CHRB has communicated to CARF that GGF's summer dates could be filled by the fairs, but Baedeker said that was only in preparation, should GGF not get approved.
