Government controlled and taxed horse race gambling, yes. Small business, no.

Good deal - if you’re a horse or race car.

Would you bet on a race at a track where there were no spectators?

No fans won’t help Watkins Glen. Or Schuyler or Yates counties. And those two counties, last I knew, are two of the poorest in the state.

WTG, Cuomo.

Update...

NASCAR's Quarantine Waiver For Watkins Glen Race Appears Unlikely

Unlikely is putting it mildly. Cuomo just canceled the state fair.

But given what NOOSECAR has been up to, attendance might have sucked, anyway.
