October 28, 2010 - The Saratogian - Saratoga Springs, NYby Paul Post
The impact of Thursday’s Aqueduct racino groundbreaking is already giving the local thoroughbred racing and breeding industry a monumental boost.
Five super stallions including 1997 Belmont Stakes winner Touch Gold and Breeders Cup Classic champion Alphabet Soup arrived at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds LLC on Wednesday, along with 20 mares.
The racino, slated to open next spring with 1,600 video lottery terminals, is expected to generate more than $650 million in gross gaming revenues annually once its 4,525 gaming machines become fully operational a year from now.
