Sell the tracks with the stipulation they must be operated as such to a company. A company that has a bottom line. Make the slots revenue what it is suppose to be, carve it up and give as little as possible to the track. Eventually, leadership we have to fix the inherent financial issues with racing. Continueing to subsidize racing with phony slot bucks is a recipe for long term diaster.

I love racing but its broke needs someone to fix it not just give it blood money.

The "inherent financial issues" were created by the state government and the odious patronage power associated with the OTB's. Not that anyone has remotely begun to address that issue...

And I don't understand the "bad decisions" saddlebag constantly flung over the back of current NYRA management. How are the Kenny Noe/Barry Schwartz years NYRA administrations relevant now? Why is there no credit applied to what's been accomplished the last 3 years?

And with due respect, do you have any idea to what degree the same state government hacks that are losers in the current battle, and are now desperate to keep their fingers in the pie, were responsible for the "mismanagement" for which they chide NYRA? The same scum that take delight in citing NYRA's expenditures under old regimes are the very guys that were glomming everything they could off the NYRA teet for years... I'd find a new whipping post.
