I feel very confident with Steve Duncker and Charlie Hayward leading NYRA forward. The bin-Laden Racing Club had a better chance to get the franchise than NYRA when the process started. The State of New York did EVERYTHING in their power to get NYRA out (no approval of VLTs, phony tax claims, half baked audits by the disgraced Alan Hevesi, etc). Yet NYRA played their hand flawlessly AND presented the only coherent structure to run racing in NY. Anyone who thinks this was some back room, glad handing favor to NYRA is either naive or hasn't been paying attention.
