Remarkable...

Bruno is in favor of 'privatization'? Really? When did he say that? He's in favor of getting a grip on franchise revenues to pay back the people who have been schmeering him and his dolt son for the past three years. NOTHING ELSE. Enough already with trying to legitimize his senility-addled machinations.

And which 'vision' that CDI and Magna has forwarded are you championing? The ruination of Gulfstream Park? The unfulfilled promises at nearly every Magna venue? The squandering of tens of millions of dollars that has MEI devalued to the point where it can no longer borrow a dime and is desperate to sell off as much property as it can?

Maybe it's CDI's renovated Churchill you're impressed with... Ask the KY horsemen how they feel about CDI's "vision". They spent $140MM to renovate CD for the 2 days people actually go there, and are paying for it by sticking it to the backstretch. How's their 'vision' working out at Calder? And their 'vision' having sold off Hollywood guaranteeing it gets bulldozed by 2010?

MTR is an example where racino is working? That's laughable. No one at MTR even knows there are horses running. The horsemen complain endlessly about how the track is maintained as the Gaming Execs do everything they can do to minimize the racing aspect there despite raking in junketeer nickels and dimes. (If you're going to use an example of success, at least use Remington, New Mexico and Pennsylvania.)

As usual, no realities actually apply when it comes to NYRA bashing.
