NYRA increases purses

We get charged daily for stall rent year round, and not just the host meet or off meet. I was going over my my NYRA statements this afternoon. Great tax right off for me though...

If you are in a NYRA stall at SAR, during the meet you should not be paying rent. If you are there before or after then you will get a bill. If you were in a non-NYRA stall (say over on Gridley St) and got a bil for the 6 week meet, you are paying the owner of the stalls, not NYRA.

If you were in a NYRA stall for the 6 weeks and got a bill, contest it.

And, furthermore, the rent charged ( $15 a day I believe ) for use of the Oklahoma during the " off-season " is passed along to owners. Perhaps this is less relevant to OutoftheBox because he is a private trainer....thus his owner foots all the bills.
