| Bankruptcy court approves NYRA plan
A U.S. bankruptcy court in Manhattan on Wednesday approved an amended reorganization plan submitted by the New York Racing Association and set a date for creditors to vote on the plan by Dec. 21, according to the bankruptcy attorney for NYRA. NYRA submitted the plan to the court on Tuesday afternoon in advance of the Wednesday hearing. Though the approval of the plan will provide creditors of NYRA with an opportunity to weigh the association's proposals to emerge from bankruptcy, the plan itself is based on a deal with Gov. Eliot Spitzer that also needs the approval of both houses of the state legislature in order to go forward. Brian Rosen, the attorney for NYRA, said that representatives of the state appeared at the hearing to voice their approval of the document.
