In KY, two are from KY Horse Racing Commission, one from the racetrack association running (CD, KEE, TP, ELP or KD).

Just because they don’t work for the racetrack, doesn’t mean they don’t eat at the same table. they all know each other. This industry has plenty of people who are scared to speak their mind because of repercussions. Do you really think Andy Serling would have nothing to say about the ridiculous cash grab at Saratoga if he wasn’t drawing a fat check from NYRA? If they had real stewards, do you think the Ortiz brothers would get away with the collusion they pull on a daily basis ? They do whatever they want....just like Churchill who wouldn’t even allow the DRF to be sold there last spring.
