Maybe they should be more concerned with the lack of consistency of their stewards or maybe look more closely at trainers that are possibly cheating as opposed to the nonsense they got on Lynch.

Just when you thought you've seen it all, something else happens that just makes you shake your head.
This has nothing to do with NYRA. These are the actions of the New York State Gaming Commission.

Geez, this is absurd.

If the guy regularly uses the staircases in the Aqueduct grandstand he would come up positive for weed whether he smokes or not.

Thanks for clarifying Steve.

After reading up a bit and having a discussion with a friend of mine, the relationship between the NYSGC & NYRA is a bit clearer to me. Unfortunately I think a large segment of the betting population doesnt realize the difference between the two. Hence NYRA taking a beating on the social sights once again. It seems like its the state who lobs the grenades and NYRA's the one who take the collateral damage.

One could only hope that someday they will wake up in Albany.
