We're down in betting and I'm very disappointed, ... We did everything we could do to improve the racing product. Everybody told me a year ago it was all about purses.

Now the Jets feel as if they are second-class citizens in this stadium deal. They want to be true partners on all aspects of any business plan.

[Zoffinger said managers and staff are reviewing why wagering was off and they are meeting with focus groups of customers to come up with] multiple ideas ... At this point, we have to only guess at what the philosophic direction will be of the next administration, and (we) won't know until the election is over.

Nothing has been discussed that is remotely controversial about my past involvement with Devco. Even if I hadn't stepped down as chairman, Devco would not be a conflict of interest.

I had them sold for $325 million, ... That was an initial offer, and could easily have gone higher if bidding took place. Today I'm not sure I could get $225 million for them.

This whole thing is taking on a life of its own. I talked to [elected officials] over in Queens, and they're loving this, because they feel like the circumstances are driving the Jets over there.

Rushing into that deal with the Giants was a big mistake. We didn't know at that point if the Jets were going to be in play here. Frankly, we should have waited until we could have both teams at the table together. Now, I don't think it would be unreasonable to give the teams more time to work things out. We need to let them work out their issues and not take any one side.

For me, the most stressful part of the last 10 months has been that Codey and I have much different philosophies of business.

If an elected governor asked me to leave, I would leave - and if he asked me to stay, I would stay, ... A lot is going to depend on our philosophies and if we mesh.
