That's always a problem when you have politics involved. And no matter how good or bad the people on the board were or are, it just doesn't matter.

Unfortunately, politicos in New York use racing as their "Pat Webb" (the guy in Casino whose uncle was a Nevada Senator... "he's about as useless as tits on a bull") whereas they have 6 OTB's to stick friends and family that aren't good enough to do anything else in public office. Dumbest business model in the world.
