company that wants to
purchase the failing
Vernon Downs harness
track for $38 million
has plans to begin live
racing again and to
operate video lottery
machines there.
Casinopartners
Management Inc. made the
offer. The company also
runs casinos in many
various countries
worldwide. The proposal
is now sitting before
the same judge that is
handling the racetrack's
bankruptcy.
The president of
Casinopartners feels
that the employees of
the failing track need
their jobs and he feels
that his company's
proposal will ensure
that they have a
fighting chance.
Mid-State Raceway, the
company that owns the
failing Vernon Downs has
an attorney that says
the track has received
bids from many different
companies that are
wanting to purchase the
track. The attorney
admits that
Casinopartners proposal
is the best so far.
