'End the Eight Years of Shame' a Diverse Work Force of NY Thoroughbred Breeders' Stables & Farms Will Tell State Leaders at Monday Protest Over Aqueduct VLTs
| 23 July 2009 |
NEW YORK, July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- On Monday, July 27(th) at 12 Noon, at the West Capitol Park, adjacent to the Swan Street steps of the State Capitol in Albany, a diverse spectrum of New Yorkers who earn their livelihoods employed at the stables and farms of New York thoroughbred breeders will take their case directly to Albany to convince state leaders to help save their jobs by acting now on video lottery terminals (VLTs) approved eight years ago for Aqueduct Racetrack.
Accompanied by a thoroughbred horse, bales of hay and a petition insisting on help, thoroughbred industry employees will leave horse shoes at Albany legislative offices as a sign of disgust over the current lack of progress in rebidding VLTs and the loss of a million dollars a day in revenue for the state.
Thoroughbred horse racing and breeding accounts for 55 percent of New York's equine industry -- the number one agricultural sector of the state's economy. Thoroughbred racing and breeding produces 30,000 in-state jobs and billions of dollars for our economy. VLTs at Aqueduct are crucial in strengthening racing and breeding in New York.
What: Hundreds of employees in the thoroughbred breeders industry to rally for action on behalf of VLTs at Aqueduct racetrack. When: Monday, July 27th, at 12 Noon. Who: A diverse work force to be joined by a thoroughbred horse, bales of hay, a four foot petition and horse shoes that will be delivered to state leadership as a sign of protest. Where: West Capitol Park adjacent to Swan Street, AlbanySOURCE New York Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc.
