Catskill OTB Failed to Comply With Law

A Daily Racing Form inquiry into the 2002 Breeder’s Cup Pick 6 scandal “shows that Catskill routinely and consistently evaded state law by failing to send many statutorily required documents to the [New York State Racing and Wagering] board.” The situation isn’t much better now: “Even today, the relationship between Catskill and the board is hardly based on the letter of the law,” reports Matt Hegarty in this lengthy investigative article in the DRF.
