Ben Liebman's remarks were the basis for a recent DRF column by Stan Bergstein. I spoke with Liebman Tuesday in the hopes of having him join us on Wednesday's ATRAB Special, but he had obligations. (He will join us soon though..) He told me to reach out to Maury Wolff who did join the lineup...
Liebman is likely the sharpest mind on racing legalities and finances in America. If we were to ever get a Racing Commissioner/Czar, he'd be at the top of the list for candidates to fill the position... He's be a Bart Giamatti for racing basically...
