Look at all the tracks running every day in April. And Greg Floyd can't see as per eg the Opinion of NYC OTB Counsel that NY PML Sec 105 does not apply to Suffolk OTB, violates the rights of NY Bettors secured by NY Const. Art. 1, Sec. 3 and is vague, indefinite and/or overly broad. Cardinal Andrew Cuomo can't close Suffolk OTB only on Roman Catholic Easter and not on Greek Orthodox Easter.
