competition based on their personal experience and the testimony of Mr Singh as set forth in the Mangano trial transcript from the first trial. Newsday, a less than reliable source did report on Singh's testimony about his conversations with Mangano, Joseph Cairo, Arthur Walsh Esq and other
Nassau OTB employees about OTB restaurants. Singh came to operate a lousy short lived Mexican restaurant, Poco Locos, at the Carle Place Branch of Nassau OTB subsequent to the departure of a fine Italian restaurant, Piccolos, that was enjoyed by the bettors of Nassau OTB, and whose existence benefitted Nassau OTB. Your assistance in obtaining the pertinent portions of the first trial transcript would be greatly appreciated. Our last contract was signed in 2007, The lack of a restaurant in the Carle Place Branch of NASSAU OTB may not be a crime but it is a bad business decision. We wish to deliberate using the testimony of Singh be he rat or sage. We are busy wirking and do not have time to track down the transcript portion of interest to us.

The ponies didn’t pay
Joseph Cairo, who is slated to take over leadership of the Nassau Republican Party once longtime chairman Joseph Mondello departs to assume a U.S. ambassadorship, also came up in Singh’s testimony Thursday.
Singh said he talked to Cairo as part of a lobbying effort to provide food at Nassau’s OTB in Hempstead Town.
He got a contract, but kept it for only three or four months, Singh testified. “We were losing money,” he said.
The concession was making about $200 or $300 a day — which, Singh said, “was not enough to cover the cost of the food.”
