Race Tracks May Have to Close

According to Governor Chris Christie – the tracks in New Jersey may have a better use if they are closed down. He has a new report that he is releasing that says that there is a need for a complete overhaul of the state’s gaming industry. He thinks that privatizing or closing down some of the tracks in the state might be a good idea – and he is specifically looking at the Meadowlands Racetrack and Monmouth Park. He thinks that closing them down or changing them into an off track wagering facility might be a good idea. They could bring in slot machines, but there would be no live racing at the park anymore. Needless to say that there ware many that are upset with the plan.

The Meadowlands has long been a symbol of racing in NJ – ever since it opened in 1976. However, these changes would see an end to the track altogether, or a drastic change from what they are normally offering. The plan would disband the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority – which is a state agency that operates the race tracks that the governor is considering closing. The horse racing industry has had a lot of problems over the past few years as they have not been able to compete with those tracks that offer slot machines to their clients.

The tracks have wanted to bring in slot machines, but the casinos always prevented them from doing so. Now it appears that their land might be of good use to the governor without the horses, but with slot machines instead. The tracks argue that if they are going to bring in slot machines that they could leave the horses as well – which is what they have been asking for for a number of years now.
