This case, as you probably know, is alleging that DelNorth left the former Empire Racing fold when it was not permitted to do so per the engagement with Empire. Subsequently, DelNorth was awarded the Aqueduct contract without Empire/SL Green involved. The judges decision to postpone the case until a "new" winner at Aqueduct is chosen, or alternatively Delaware North being forced to file an answer, one or the other are due tomorrow. This case may very well be playing upon the current Aqueduct award decision making process of Governor David Paterson.<br /><br />If SL Green is permitted to proceed with disclosure and depositions of DelNorth, and former Governor Spitzer and Paterson officials are called to testify, this whole thing could blow up on this Governor, or make the former Eliot Spitzer administration a party to favoritism and bid manipulation, and perhaps even lead to the NYRA's racing franchise award to be questioned as problematic.<br /><br />More at stake in NY than meets the eye in the days to come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-68865284549300068842009-11-12T20:26:06.581-05:002009-11-12T20:26:06.581-05:00Leave it to a bunch of clueless Dem's to muck ...Leave it to a bunch of clueless Dem's to muck up an easy deal.

Although, penn nat could be a NYRA favorite prospect, so one always has to consider this. <br /><br />This whole thing is indeed laughable though.
