I had a brief correspondence with Frank Stronach's office. It pertained to problems with Xpressbet, but thats all I want to say about that. I got the distinct impression that like a political party's elected candidate he has "gotten away for his base". I really think he sees himself as a visionary capable of expanding the game he loves, but also willing to make concessions to "grow the game". I wish him luck, only time will tell, but I don't want him making serious inroads upon the games true backers and traditions. The New York facilities are a big part of that.
