Having a philosophical argument about charging horsepalyers for extra's is a interesting topic. However in NYRA's case it isnt a apples to apples argument because there is real doubt about the true goals of the oversight board or at the very least the Chairman and several members. Plus virtually every racino is required by law not to charge admission. I mean who would hire Kay if the goal was to maximize profits at an entity that handles over 20% of the 10 billion or so bet in this country?

I know that, I also know that bettors/fans don't care (nor should they) what political maneuvering is going on behind the scenes. What fan is going to say, "well paying admission sucks, but I don't really mind because I know it is just the state trying to grab all the slots money?"
Enough on this from me, just going to see how it plays out.
