If the problem is with OTB's then they need to resolve it. I just wonder why if the setup is so bad, why is NYRA fighting so hard for something that is impossible to break even with. Makes ZERO sense. Somebody is making money off the current situation and I suspect that somebody(ies) is connected to NYRA somehow.

Bene what you write is reasonable. I agree, 30 years is a long time without having some kind of accountability periodically. It seems fair that the NYRA should have to meet certain standards within a specific amount of time. Even the casino operator, they must meet standards and have accountability, imo.
