Phil,

Respectfully,I beg to differ. The state of racing in NY today is substantially NYRA's fault.In spite of huge subsidies from the slots, they did zero for the players in a meaningful/monetary way.Not a dollar for pool seeding, reduced takeout or anything along those lines. In fact, NYRA recently raised admission and rubber stamped a surcharge on NY gamblers that hold ADW accounts out of state.

They can stick their flat screen TV's where the sun don't shine.NYRA is completely out of touch with it's core customer base or just dont care.Efforts to get anything meaningful done for the players is met with fierce opposition.
