NYRA Board asks CEO to Step Down

January 29th, 2019

NYRA announced this week that it had accepted the resignation of CEO and President Chris Kay. Kay took over at NYRA in 2013 and led the board through the recent re-privatization efforts. An anonymous source told the Albany Times Union that the board asked for Kay’s resignation after allegations that he used employees for maintenance and yard work on his own home for an extended period of time. NYRA officials and Kay declined to comment.
