Having lived in Albany all my life nothing surprises me re:NYS gov't. Ken Bruno was a D.A. in a local county before he realized that people would throw money at him because of his last name. Joe Bruno and Shelly Silver will do anything that is in their best interest. If this also is good for racing then this is a pleasant coincidence. If not, they could care less. If stronach ever had an easy mark it would be the NYS legislature and the Govenor's office. NYRA clearly has its problems. However, I have attended hundreds of days of racing at Saratoga along with a number of big racing days at Belmont. For the most part I have never left dissatisfied with the way the track was run. I cannot say this strongly enough. THE NYS POLITICIANS DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ATTEND THESE TRACKS.
