Mr. Hayward outright mis-spoke (I'm being nice) when he said "no license, no racing" baloney. Veitch and Cusano should produce a video first apologizing to OTB and then say they were manipulated by NYRA and that precious airtime, that could be used for useful racing information, was wasted and used as a soapbox for more smoke to be blown.
Yes, racing does go on...at least for 23 more days, I take it from your post that you are not a supporter of NYRA (and I'm being nice) I have the upmost respect for Charlie Hayward by taking the "wall of crap" that N.Y. state goverment has thrown in front of him. Anybody that knows this man, knows that he is looking out for the good of racing and it's bettors in this state. As for an apology, I think your making a bold statement that Mark & Mike were maniputlated by NYRA...let's see the proof of that. They only smoke that blown on Saturday's show was from "blame game" that Joe Bruno was ranting on. I live in this state for over 40 years, when politics gets involved.....WATCH OUT!
