HRA RUMOURED TO BE IN PANIC MODE CONCERNING 2024 BUDGET
HRA board met Sept 2/2022 and posted 2023 budget on sept 7/2022
WHAT’S THE HOLDUP FOR 2024 BUDGET
CENTURY 4K 6 month financials pg 41 DOWNS show 8% decline or 800K in slot revenues,thus hra 23 million downs equals 2 million in lost revenue
TRACK 2 40k per month equates to 500k, thus guaranteed 1 million purse increase in 2024,would mean 2.5 million revenue shortfall.
CLARK KENT in spring podcast with departed Dawn, remarked about new revenues with fixed odd betting / not legal and HBPA swag clothing line BS
HISTORICAL DATA ironically shows 2006 CENTURY BELVEDERE casino opening on Northlands doorstep, resulted in HRA share going from 24.8/2006,21/2007,20.5/2008,19.1/2009 and 18.5/2010,drastic 6.3 mil or 25% DROP.
THOROUGHBRED HORSE SALE is in two weeks, inform the racing participants of revenue stream,and proposed spring or fall downs racing dates that cost thousands in relocation to race industry workers and other social economic problems.
