NY State of Racing speech
This is over 9 months old, but I'd never seen it and found it interesting reading. A friend who is an occasional lurker here emailed it to me. It's one of those PDF links, so I can't cut and paste the link from a browser. I'll retype it below and hope it works. Bennett Liebman at the Albany Law School gave the speech.

I clicked the link in my earlier post and it seems to work. Cool. Love to hear thoughts on the stuff said in the speech- not a topic I'm up on.

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...

While I'm quite confident the list of atrocities Pataki committed while Governor affected many, his replacement of Ben Leibman, with the wife of a contributor no less, was a major blow to racing in New York and an all-out slap in the face of the industry.
There are few, if any, more knowledgable than Ben.
