Anyway, I don't see how this is so unusual. If he's charged with a crime, I'm sure we'll all know the reason soon enough.
If he's not charged with a crime, why would the public have a right to know?

This person wasn't just fired. He was banned from stepping foot on the NYRA properties. That indicates, at least to me, that something improper either happened or was suspected. Maybe it was entirely personal, like he lost his temper and slugged a jockey agent in the nose. That's likely to end up in Indian Charlie, but you're right then, we don't need to know that or have really the right to know that.
But given his position and how it could've affected bettors, trainers, and owners, I do think they are in a position to clarify at least if what happened did or did not affect them in any way.
