So you suggest the taxpayer should pay the costs by bailing NYRA out of bankruptcy so the Phipps and other owners don't have a higher dayrate? If horseman can't pay their bills then go find another job. This is a business. I think it is great to squeeze the taxpayer to pay for NYRA's bankruptcy so that rich people can have a hobby. If horseman can't make it then raise their rates.
Give me a break. This is why gambling should always be a for-profit, not a non-profit.
