Well said. I hope that since this action by NY State is so transparent it will come back to bite the Governor, his jackass budget director, the Racing and Wagering Board and the Franchise Oversight board in thne a$$.

NY Government, where incompetence is at its pinnacle.

True words about Cuomo Administration.. “We operate at two speeds here: Get along and kill.”.

Little question which approach they have taken with NYRA.

This is question that just popped into my mind (sorry if it sounds foolish):

Obviously now that there is a TC at stake and huge amounts of money on the line as far as handle/attendance an so on, plus national (even world wide) exposure, is there any chance of seeing a power play made by either side? We all know that Albany is trying to turn the screws on NYRA, could they try to use the Belmont as some sort of leverage? Also with all media attention that the Belmont is going to get, wouldn't this be a good time for NYRA to launch a counter attack?

I can guarantee that I won't be the only person in the crowd booing him as soon as they show him on any in-house feed.
