Led by a Smart Strike filly sold for $525,000, the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic sale of 2-year-olds in training got off to a solid start May 22 with across-the-board gains in a market that continued the trends seen earlier in the juvenile auction season.
Connecticut’s governor has told state legislators that the only casino expansion proposal he’ll sign is one that doesn’t interfere with the state’s existing exclusivity deal with two gaming tribes.
Last Friday, Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy (pictured) waded into the contentious debate over whether the state should (a) permit the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot tribes to open a joint venture casino off tribal land near East Windsor, or (b) launch an open tender for a third casino license in which private firms like MGM Resorts could compete.
Malloy told the CT Mirror that he “will not sign a transaction or bill that puts into real danger our existing arrangement with the tribal nations.” The two tribes, which run the Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun Casino on their respective tribal lands, currently pay the state 25% of their slots revenue – worth roughly $260m this year – in exchange for exclusivity over casino operations in the state.
The tribes want to run their East Windsor casino as a hedge against MGM Springfield, the $950m facility scheduled to open just over the Massachusetts border in September 2018. MGM has mounted legal challenges of the proposal to award the off-reservation casino license to the tribes without a public tender.
Hall of Fame jockey Kent Desormeaux has parted ways with agent J.R. Pegram and teamed up with agent Nelson Arroyo it was announced May 22.
When an Into Mischief filly with no stakes horses in her first two dams left the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-olds in training sale ring on a final bid of $425,000, it represented a major score for consignor Wes Carter and his client, Carolyn Vogel.
The television ratings for this year’s Preakness Stakes (G1) broadcast on NBC declined from last year, earning a 4.9 rating and 11 share, compared with the 2016 broadcast that earned a 5.8/14.
A really fast workout May 18 by a Jimmy Creed filly entered in the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-olds in training sale evoked an emotional response from his consignor, Penny Lopez.
The sketchy developer behind efforts to launch an online gambling site for Oklahoma tribal groups is reportedly being investigated by the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC).
On Monday, The Oklahoman reported that the NIGC was looking into the 2014 demise of an online gambling deal between the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes and Florida-based developer Universal Entertainment Group (UEG) that never got off the ground despite the tribes paying UEG $9.4m.
Cheyenne and Arapaho tribal legislative speaker Reggie Wassana told the media outlet that the NIGC had recently asked for additional information regarding the tribes’ 2012 deal with UEG. Wassana noted that while UEG did launch a PokerTribes.com website, “nothing became of” the project beyond the bare-bones site. “There was no realization of profits and no actual working internet gaming.”
UEG’s pitch to tribes was that their sovereign nation status allowed them to launch real-money online gambling operations targeting customers outside the United States. Trouble is, virtually no one believes such a site will be able to capture any significant slice of that international market without spending millions of dollars on marketing, and where that money might come from is unclear.
