This "unusual treament" must have escaped the teams of accountants that audit OTB financials.. Steve perhaps it would serve the community well if the facts were repped appropiately. Hear say from columnists isn't responsible even if they prove to be 100% correct in their assessment.Again, I am with you in your disdain for the ploy just think there is way more to it.

Freddy,

Hegarty is racing media's single top business correspondant. His accumen on these topics is unquestioned. Do you think Steven Crist would base his columns on the topic on faulty, shoddy or uncertain conclusions? Come on...

His accumen on accounting is hardily unquestioned..Again do you suspect Hegarty will be deemed an expert on such GAP?? and I would guess that Crist didn't just take Heggarty's word for it and actually researched the "questionable issues" with people that he could rely on to factually support his column..

Perhaps when you have an expert on accounting, formulate an opinion based on GAP we can challenge these practices until then.. I am going with the guys that are professionals and sign there name on the bottom line of the return, they are the ones FIRMLY on the hook

I have no idea what is going on with this, the only interest I have in NY racing is Saratoga turf racing.
