ALBANY, New York -- As reported by the Albany Times-Union: "Mohegan Sun has joined Capital Play's bid to take over the racing franchise in New York, officials with the bidding group confirmed this morning.
"The giant gambling operator would be the casino partner and run a proposed racino at Aqueduct and potentially another at Belmont if the state approves one there, said Karl O'Farrell, the leader of Capital Play, which is based in Australia.
"...The partnership with the tribal casino company also gives Capital Play a high-rolling operator to compete with Excelsior Racing Associates' Steve Wynn, a major operator in Las Vegas.
