In the meantime, Barry Schwartz, who was CEO of NYRA when a contract worth $750,000 was no-bid awarded to his daughter and son-in-law was allowed to just walk away instead of being indicted for fraud.
$750,000/$5000 = 150. Schwartz's "indiscretion" was 150 times, in dollars, worse than the mutuel clerk's. Yet he was able to retreat to his 600 acre farm and maintain his place in the ownership and breeding industry in NY.
When you have this kind of blatant and unpunished malfeasance occur at the top of a non-profit organization, people are going to want change. Supporters of NYRA can point to all the staff and oversight changes made since but with this kind of recent history as well as poor financial results, nobody can be surprised that people are distrustful and want change.

Look that makes way too much sense Studly obviously you are just pissed at NYRA because they dont buy your sperm..lol
The way it works is you tell everyone those were bad people who did bad things but you now have good people who do good things and all is forgiven because you came to jesus and confessed your past sins. Imagine a couple of Jewish boys are steering the ship from the second deck while the capt. smiles and perks them out. All because they lost their front man to HK..
I kind of like the new plan.. But the whole thing on an auction block and hawk it like livestock. What's so special about horse racing anyway and why do we need a bunch of care takers.
