open Nassau OTB 365 days of the year.
On
November 7, 2012, the newly designated chair of the New York Racing
Association Reorganization Board Cornell President David Skorton met
with the management of the New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA), the
Racing and Wagering Board and the NYS Thoroughbred Horsemen's
Association at Aqueduct Racetrack.
Following
the meetings and a tour of the racetrack and Resorts World Casino New
York City, Skorton said: “I am looking forward to working with the
talented and devoted individuals on the NYRA Reorganization Board and
professionals on the NYRA staff over the next three years. This is an
important institution that has a long history in our state. The racing
industry is too important to the state for NYRA not to be performing at
its peak. We will reach out to all of NYRA’s stakeholders, including
its customers, the track workers, owners, trainers, breeders, OTB
corporations, and everyone else who cares about racing. In addition to
this outreach, we will hold public hearings at NYRA tracks to solicit
input in order to build on New York’s premier racing status.
“Among
the first and most important matters to be taken up by the
Reorganization Board are implementing the findings and recommendations
of The Task Force on Racehorse Health and Safety. These findings and
recommendations will likely require material changes in operations and
protocols at NYRA racetracks. I welcome the interest in the work of the
NYRA Reorganization Board. Meetings of this Board will be open, in
accordance with the state’s Open Meetings Law. Meetings have yet to be
scheduled, but the first will be in Manhattan in December 2012."
