There will be a chapter 11 case conference concerning the 2006 bankruptcy filing by the New York Racing Association (NYRA) in April, News10.com reported. NYRA says that this notice is not connected to its current financial status. "The case referenced in this administrative notice is not related to the current financial state of The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA), but rather a notice of a routine conference related to NYRA’s 2006 bankruptcy," according to communications director Patrick McKenna. "In 2018, NYRA’s operating income from racing operations was $2.2 million, marking the fifth consecutive year that NYRA posted an operating profit." NYRA voluntarily filed for chapter 11 in 2006 in exchange for debt relief and permission to install video lottery terminals at the Aqueduct Racetrack. Custody of the Saratoga, Belmont, and Aqueduct race courses was also handed over to the state. That chapter 11 case was lifted in 2009.
