Even if he was temporarily stealing from bettors and got caught with his hand in the cookie jar...I liked this Heyward guy a lot and I think ultimately we're way better off with him than your avg guy who gets that position.

I really liked Barry Schwartz a lot. Maybe they can get him back. He was outstanding and tried harder than anyone to get things going in a better direction.

Outside of the real young guy in Canada at Hastings and the guys at Tampa Bay Downs and Charles Town...it's a veritable Dumb and Dumber parade of racings Powers that be. Hopeless.

I am not one to jump to conclusions based upon allegations and I have been a supporter of NYRA, but if this is true, this is a real slap in the face to loyal NYRA customers. Ed Fountaine has this piece in the NY Post today.

The part of this that I want ot know more about is this:

"We originally had thought that we would announce this for Saratoga but political forces intervened."

Who are the political forces and what did they know and when. I would like to see Hayward come out swinging bit I am thinking he will fall on the sword.

How is Hayward going to come out swinging. He cannot even control his own racing office. They all need to be fired
