Will Keep Up Fight Over Empire City Racing
The Washington Post reports the New York State Racing Commission and the Jockey Club will press to block the Empire City Trotting Club from running at Empire track. Knapp indicates the case will go to the Court of Appeals, likely staying action this season. If the appeals court upholds the appellate division, dates may be sought in August, though track idle periods complicate matters. Opinions vary on Empire City’s profitability against Saratoga, with some predicting difficulties of horse supply and spectator interest, while others forecast strong attendance should races occur. Saratoga is expected to lure many high-class runners for the near term.
