Re: Englishtown Rumor
I've heard that every year for the last umpteen years, too. But, you've got to be prepared that one day it might be true.
I have no idea Vinny's age, I would imagine he's no kid, and you have to know that at some point he won't be or won't want to run it. With the issues they have there, everybody looking for him all the times with torches and pitchforks, fighting every year has got to get old. They were around when I raced there in the seventies and eighties, and that was 30-40 years ago. You don't know about other family members, if they are interested in running the business or not. So, one day there will be a change. I just hope not this year. |

Re: Englishtown Rumor
As I recall, the track was first sold in 1976 and has been sold every year since.

Re: Englishtown Rumor
Sell it, then move the race to one of those Indian reservations, they'll make money. Betting on each race and slot machine between each seat, now you got something to do between the oil downs and pre stage shenanigans. Everything tax free.
