I suppose NYRA has cleaned up its act. It seems that way to me from all I have read in the past year. My problem with them at this point is personal. I have been writing them and emailing them for several years about something that bothers me. They do not even respond. I want them to tell me why they have no graded stakes race named for Seattle Slew. The horse sure did enough for them.:confused:

So Fa fa flo fly what do you want to bet 50 on? That they are up 6.7% or higher? Ill take 50 on that!

However, you said there is " no denying the corruption inside the NYRA by some people " which implies there continues to be corruption there. If you are going to make these slanders be prepared to back them up. If this isn't what you meant then you should be careful how you word such accusations.
Great, according to Alan Hevesi, a real trustworthy guy.

So NYRA is either corrupt or incompetent. Doesn't matter to me. They lose money year after year due to incompetence or corruption. Pick your poison.

Actually I am one of those people that instead of wasting $19M on NYRA maybe we could use that money to improve education and pay teachers more. :eek:

Or does the money we use to improve education grow on trees? lol

So when Alan Hevesi says they are corrupt he is trustworthy but when he says they have cleaned up their act he is not?

You really need a diaper change.

Stick to Eliot Spitzer. I think Hevesi is sharing the free car rides with the executives at NYRA. :eek:

My argument is that the government isn't here to bailout non-profits to the tune of millions of dollars every single year. You seem to think it is.

The budget is the budget. If it didnt go to help improve racing it would be put somewhere to plant trees in a forest, they have to spend the money or lose funding the following year. Education gets there fair share look at all the money going there from the slots. Yonkers alone will be generating 250mil a year for education.

The Keeneland numbers are up around 9-10%. All you need to do is look at this year vs last year.

You are calling me an idiot. You know absolutely nothing about government you fool. Does the government budget $20 million in bailout funds for NYRA? LOL. What a moron. It is a non-profit you fool. The government doesn't budget money for them. You can't really be that stupid.

And it is their not there. Be careful about who you call an idiot.

Yonkers isn't NYRA either.
