Stop scratching on holidays
Published: June 1, 2012
Off Track Betting in New York State has been racing into a crisis called shrinking revenue. Some people have spitballed a solution: Don’t close on holidays.
New York State Racing Law bars racing on Christmas, Easter and Palm Sunday, and the state has ruled OTBs can’t handle action on those days, even though they could easily broadcast races from out of state.
“You should be able to bet whenever you want,” said Jackson Leeds, a Nassau OTB employee who makes an occasional bet. He added some irrefutable logic: “How is the business going to make money if you’re not open to take people’s bets?”
Elias Tsekerides, president of the Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York, said OTB is open on Greek Orthodox Easter and Palm Sunday.
“I don’t want discrimination,” Tsekerides said. “They close for the Catholics, but open for the Greek Orthodox? It’s either open for all or not open.”
OTB officials have said they lose millions by closing on Palm Sunday alone, with tracks such as Gulfstream, Santa Anita, Turf Paradise and Hawthorne running.
One option: OTBs could just stay open and face the consequences. New York City OTB did just that back in 2003. The handle was about $1.5 million – and OTB was fined $5,000.
Easy money.
Leonard Genova, in court documents, says his testimony in a federal corruption trial is what led the town to file a lawsuit against him seeking more than $840,000.

Oyster Bay’s lawsuit against former Town Attorney Leonard Genova was an act of retribution for testifying in a federal corruption trial, Genova’s attorney said in a court filing Wednesday.
The town’s lawsuit, filed in August in State Supreme Court in Mineola, was “intended to … defame Genova for testifying against the town’s former supervisor, John Venditto and [former] Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano,” Genova’s Manhattan-based attorney Nicholas Gravante Jr. said in the court filing. The document also alleged that the town lawsuit was meant to “intimidate into silence anyone who is contemplating testifying” in the retrial of Mangano in January.
The town is seeking more than $840,000 — more than six years of Genova's salary plus damages — for alleged negligence and malpractice in what the lawsuit said was his failure to prevent and detect a multimillion loan guarantee scheme involving former town concessionaire Harendra Singh. The loan arrangement was at the heart of a federal corruption trial brought against Venditto, Mangano and his wife, Linda. Venditto was acquitted on all charges and the Manganos are to be retried after a mistrial. Linda Mangano was not charged in connection with the alleged loan guarantee scheme.
“This is a message that the town is trying to send to people who cooperated with law enforcement, or people who are contemplating cooperating with law enforcement that they had better think twice about doing so,” Gravante said in an interview Thursday.
Current Town Attorney Joseph Nocella said in a statement Thursday: “The Town has a fiduciary obligation to taxpayers to recover money lost from the self-admitted gross negligence, incompetence and illegal acts of its former employees."
He said Genova's filing was "based strictly on technical defenses and not on any direct rebuttal of the allegations or substance of the claims.”
Genova was granted immunity from criminal prosecution in return for testifying in the Venditto-Mangano trial.
Gravante noted that the town had not sued Venditto and Mangano for their alleged roles in the loan scheme. The town in 2017 brought a civil case related to the loan guarantee against Singh, his wife Ruby, former Deputy Town Attorney Frederick Mei, law firm Harris Beach PLLC, creditor PHL Variable Insurance Co.
Genova testified during the trial that he had accepted bribes from Singh in the form of free car service and discounts at Singh’s restaurants. Genova also testified that he had signed amendments for the loan guarantee arrangements on the town’s behalf but said he had not read them.
The town lawsuit alleges Genova changed his story in court from what he had previously told town officials. The suit alleges Genova's actions exposed the town to millions of dollars in legal expenses and potential liabilities and the town is seeking to recoup some of those losses.
Singh pleaded guilty in 2016 to bribing Oyster Bay officials in return for securing $20 million in loans indirectly guaranteed by the town.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has also sued the town and Venditto, alleging securities fraud over how they disclosed and failed to disclose the guarantees to municipal bond investors.
