"It’s sadly amusing that people call for the boycott of NYRA when they themselves are more or less held hostage by the NYSGC and its dictatorial manner of regulation.

Remember that those in charge of the NYSGC (none of which are “racing people”) ignored a judges ruling in the ludicrous Clocker case, botched the Linda Rice case so badly it got tossed by a state judge and insisted on supporting an idiotic rule about married jockeys while totally ignoring every other blatant conflict of interest.

NYRA sure ain’t perfect but at least get the villains straight in this story and remember this when the whole “racing can’t regulate itself” argument is used by some nitwit."

The clear villain in this piece is the NYSGC Steward, Braulio Baeza, Jr., although I'm not clear why the other two NYRA stewards, appointed by NYRA and the Jockey Club, don't stand up to him.

As for racing regulating itself, I would point out that Baeza is accredited as a steward by the Racing Officials Accreditation Program. This fiasco is not his first, and his accreditation remains intact.
