Horsemen advised to grip purse strings
The Nov. 14 article "Separate accounts at NYRA" stated that the New York Racing Association officials admitted to federal prosecutors in February that they owed $14 million to the horsemen's purse account - the account containing horsemen's earned purses, claiming monies, etc. Now NYRA admits to owing the purse account $20 million - another $6 million in just nine months!
