VD opening appears delayed

Published reports today state that the New York State Racing and Wagering Board has given Vernon Downs and the Harness Horse Association of Central New York until next Wednesday to sign an agreement or the track could possibly not be able to reopen this year.

A meeting mediated by the Board was held Tuesday between the HHACNY and Vernon Downs, and it gave the two sides until 5 p.m. on Aug. 23 to sign a contract. The Board meets the following day, which makes the timeframe for a planned Aug. 26 opening of Vernon Downs too tight even if a contract is signed.

Vernon Downs’s general manager Eric Persson was quoted later as saying that the track is now “anticipating an Aug. 30 start date. We are optimistic we will be able to accomplish it.”
