- The four bidders for the NY franchise have officially submitted their bids in advance of the public hearing on April 10-11 in Albany. At the same time, Excelsior's Richard Fields (who I guess now is Excelsior), has purchased a majority interest in Suffolk Downs. He spoke about his plans for the track in a press release; but I've edited (in bold type) his statement to show what he really means:
“I am excited about my investment in Suffolk Downs and about the future of [slots],” Fields said in a news release. “Over the next few months, our team will be pursuing [slots] that allows us to integrate the horseracing that has long defined Suffolk Downs with [slots]. I am excited about bringing our experience and passion for [slots] to [slots] at Suffolk Downs.” [Thoroughbred Times]

Man I hate slots.
Frank Stronach's Magna International is looking to buy Chrysler from Daimler-Benz. Isn't this the same guy who had to sell his harness track outside of Pittsburgh that had slots due to the need of some liquid cash?
magna intl is a different company than magna entertainment. it is the parent of mec.
Racing with slots is better than no racing and no slots.
