Take a close look at the advertisers (and stories), its all geared towards horse people. It was never meant for the track but Keenland had ads in there. It sucks so bad, then why is it so popular? I've seen people up here looking for it the morning it comes out. It gets handed out all through the backside. Every one back there knows what Indian Charlie is.....even the Mexicans....there's pictures too..just in case...  |
Right. Obama and his rodeo clown all over. The arrogant prick has zero sense of humor where it comes to satire involving anybody other than whites. Does that make Obama the most racist president ever? Or just a politically correct, pathological liar? Take your pick. Back to horses.

You may be right Al - I was giving the NJSEA as an example. I wasn't trying to say NYRA is exactly like NJSEA. Quite frankly, I have (had in the case of NJ) no idea about the legal details of either entity.

There's always more to any story than people know before they start talking. Been plenty of things people talked about here over the years I knew more about but was not, at least morally, at liberty to say. To be truthful, I'm not sure where that which is now called NYRA is with regards to being part of the government. Taking it over could create a giant backfire for Cuomo if something incredibly stupid occured, or maybe not. That one would be in the courts for years though if i don't miss my guess. I do feel though that I am more right than wrong on this issue though. Just think back to the "Wandering Dago" food truck fiasco last year at Saratoga if you want a more recent example. Of course in that case there was a contract involved.....

I wasn't trying to claim I knew for a fact - sorry if it came across that way.

No, not at all. What you said sounded quite reasonable. Was making a general statement, not one directed at you, so bad communication on me.

Badgering? I don't know this person, and tried two times to understand how he knew this. (His subsequent answer cleared it up.) I wasn't sure whether he was very close to this agency and had first hand information, or whether he was just some guy.
I'm not a lawyer, and never offered my "legal" opinion about this matter. I asked questions. And explaining this to you here is not arguing with you.
