New York state police and the state’s Organized Crime task Force raided offices at Belmont Park, Aqueduct, and Saratoga late this afternoon. State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer refused to comment on the search, “but a key investigator who has probed NYRA for much of the past three years said the search is a major inquiry with substantial ramifications in the racing industry.” (Times Union)
