Americas Partners exemplified its ability to forge complex partnerships that create value with its 1995 joint venture acquisition of the Monticello Raceway, a 230-acre harness racing operation in the Catskill Mountains of New York.

In 2004, Americas Partners agreed to merge the Monticello Raceway into Empire Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ: NYNY, www.empireresorts.com) and opened a casino on the site.
