Down Goes the Curtain...

...on the Magna/Stronach empire, or at least, so it seems. It's hard to feel bad for the guy, he determined his fate with his actions. It's easier to have compassion for the people affected by his misdeeds at the various tracks that he accumulated. I knew a few that had worked at The Meadows for years that were unceremoniously dumped to curb costs. His heavy handed ways are well documented and his "vision", murky in the best of times, is now darkness. As czar of his empire, he hand picked the people that helped sink the Magna ship and paid himself many, many millions in the process.
Left in the lurch are the Magna tracks, which include the two biggest meets currently in progress, Santa Anita & Gulfstream. Also at risk are the subscribers to Xpress Bet who are justifiably concerned as to what will be done with deposits in the ADW service. Nicely done...
