Seek,
The funniest thing about the Empire Group is their "leaders". These guys should be wearing huge red shoes and white makeup(some already have the VERY red noses).
The sickest thing about them is that their "attacks" against NYRA border on delusional, and are filled with rampant distortions of the truth and flat out lies.
The anti NYRA folks fall within two categories 1) ignorant know nothings who quote(or misquote) some articles written by other ignorant know nothings. 2) people with their hands out or who are on the take hoping to get rich.
If you don't want saratoga to change, make sure you let your elected officials know that you support NYRA and will be one of the angry consituents looking to vote them out of office should they screw it up.
