I guess NYRA might look like the smartest guys in the room, especially after they shorted their own pension fund, borrowed millions from the state, filed for bankruptcy protection and then turned around and SUED the state. I'd rather go with the old Johnny Carson TV game show title, "Who Do You Trust?" Even the Ad Hoc Committee got that right when they rated NYRA last on integrity.
