The new $125,000-a-month president of the Off-Track Betting Corp. pledged yesterday to have a plan in place within 30 days to rescue the bankrupt operation.

“I view this as a very short-term effort,” declared Greg Rayburn, a restructuring specialist tapped a week ago by Gov. Paterson in a last-ditch effort to revive the city’s fading legalized bookie.

Although Rayburn said he was not ruling out anything at this stage — including liquidation — he pointed out that OTB contributed $550 million to the horse-racing industry and $200 million to state and local governments since 2004.
