So you want to say NYRA "rightfully earned" money but then you want them to be a non-profit? Hilarious. Why not just include $100 steak dinners everynight and pay the board members shipping costs of their horses. This way they will insure they are a non-profit. Wait, they already do that. LOL

Please explain to me what NYRA does with the million it gets when it sells the land? No land=No racing=no NYRA. NYRA CAN'T EXIST WITHOUT RACING. Is that too difficult for you to understand or do you have to be a simpleton like us to get it?

You want no accountability for NYRA. I guess you want no accountability from racehorse trainers to their owners too. Although you seem to already have that. LOL
Only a fool would take what NY politicians say at face value like you seem to do. I find it amusing that you attempt to denigrate me professionally at every chance yet are insulted when I call you what you are.

The board members got their horses shipped for free because everyone got free shipping on the NYRA shuttle. If you ship from Aqu to Belmont or vice versa to run in a race you went on the NYRA shuttle which was for everyone. It is not a unique situation as Calder to Gulfstream and Churchill to Arlington and Churchill to Keeneland have similar set ups. If you are stupid enough to think that any of the board members are serving to get free stall rent, shuttle service or $100 steak dinners you are a simpleton.

You want NYRA to "clean up the community" and renovate but how are they supposed to do that if the state cleans them out at every chance.

I'm not sure why YOU are so personally against NYRA but if they are so bad then who do you propose run the tracks in NY?
