Unfortunately most newspapers lack credibility today. The NY Times editorial of 11/24 on New York's OTBS is proof of that

This situation is a little different than the NY Times editorial. The newspapers are reporting on an audit by the state comptroller. The NY Post writer was lazy and did not get a response from NYRA as other publications did such as the Albany Times Union.

If you want a good laugh read the final paragraph from the above link.

The last paragraph is pretty amusing.

The article also shows what a non-piece of news this story is.....unless you're the NY Post.

I agree with Ray Casey about putting an end to the competition between the OTB's and NYRA.

The next racing franchise operator should manage each of the six statewide OTB corporations.

That's the best way to end the competition.

The politicians in NY have shown their utter disdain for all the top quality horesmen in the industry. The entire racing industry has been insulted by their actions and racing should stop in NY on Jan. 1 if there is no signed agreement. The extension should be thrown back in their faces. That's the emotional response.

Rationally, the NY horsemen have been very dignified throughout this entire embarrassement.

Word has it Carole Stone won't be making many more statements from her once vaulted perch on the Oversight Board.
