From Ray Paulick's blog comes an interesting look at the true state of affairs of Magna Entertainment. Paulick reports on a meeting between billionaire CNET founder Halsey Minor and Magna's CFO Blake Tohana.
Mr. Minor has been in the news recently as a possible buyer of Hialeah Park. While he is still pursuing that property, he inquired about Magna's willingness to sell Santa Anita and its holdings in Maryland.

...But the 2008-2009 Portland Meadows meet will go one of two ways, according to discussion reported from today's ORC (Oregon Racing Commission) meeting:

IF INSTANT RACING IS NOT APPROVED: 580 races through March, with all horses off the ground on approx. May 10.
More to be reported later, as it becomes available.
UPDATE: just to clarify, under either scenario, the track will be open until May 10th.
