NYRA Knockers TAKE THIS!!!

Frankly, I expect idiocy from that other poster here, as she probably has trouble with Velcro, but you do know better. You have every right to not like NYRA, or any organization you so choose, but by the same token you have a certain responsibility in your claims, especially those kinds, and vagueness is not a reasonable defense.

I like the NYRA and I feel that my post no way implied that there was still on-going corruption inside the NYRA. I also believe that statements made should be able to be backup as well. I have been on both sides of the fence. But, in my opionin, no way did my statement imply or infer that there is ongoing corruption inside the NYRA. Again, I like the NYRA and I think they do a good job. I just think there is a better group out there that can do an even better job.

There may always be a better group. However, who are they in this case?

I wish I knew the answer to that question. I should of said this...I like the NYRA, but I think they need a better business model. I don't think a non-profit should be losing money like they are. A better business model is basically what they need.

I don't have the answer, or really anything close to it, but I would guess that at least some of NYRA's problems stem from mismanagement in the past. However, I have a lot of confidence in those in charge now, and less than none in at least one of the current supposed " bidders ". I know little to nothing about Excelsior, on the other hand, but as of now there is no information available on what, if any, plans these groups have for running racing in NY.

Truthfully, the main thing the current management at NYRA have going against them is the name NYRA, as they differ substantially, if not completely, from the leadership of the past.
