Gov. Cuomo yesterday submitted a bill supported by Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos to have the state take over the New York Racing Association for three years.

In that time, the state is expected to clean up the scandal-scarred franchise, which operates Belmont, Aqueduct and Saratoga.

Racing would continue as a new board conducts a national search to replace the former president, Charles Hayward, and general counsel, Patrick Kehoe, who were fired amid allegations that they knew the association shorted winning bettors by up to $8.5 million.
