Frank Stronach paid his son $2-$3 million in severance pay for the job he held at Gulfstream less than 4 months... What's your point? That nepotism finds its' way into business? Change your moniker to "Revolation" then..
You continue to EVADE the germain issue that the Noe-Meyocks-Schwartz administrations are long gone at NYRA... You refuse to address that.
And not to pull the insights card, but you're off base on where the alliances lie in terms of the state government and the forces involved with the bidding.
AND.. the marketing company has been widely lauded for the excellent response(s) their campaigns had in Saratoga attendence and visitors to the city.
AND, the Shuttle is NOT for Board members horses.. It's for anyone's horses that stable up or downstate and have to travel up or downstate to run at AQU, BEL and SAR...
You want a corporate entity running racing in NY? Fine.. But stop with misinformation and redressing of issues unconnected to those that have been running NY racing since Barry Schwartz resigned. It's unfair and you're perpetuating fallacies.

Nothing against you, but you have no credibility here. Does Carolina Barbeque have a contract with NYRA? Do they allow you to charge $3.50 for a coke at a non-profit racetrack? Don't tell me there aren't payoffs and kickbacks to get space selling food at Saratoga. That would be an insult to my intelligence.
Stronach can do whatever he wants. He has shareholders to answer to. Who does NYRA answer to? The taxpayers, and the taxpayers are me.
If NYRA is so well run now, How come they are still losing money, BY THE MILLIONS?
Just make it a for-profit, like everything else that runs correctly in america. How does a non-profit benefit horse racing. It doesn't.
