The New York Racing Association said it has added $730,000 in salaries to beef up its executive team.

After a request more than a week ago, NYRA disclosed it is paying $280,000 a year to Lynn LaRocca, who is filling the newly created post of chief experience officer. It is the same salary paid to Joe Lambert, the new general counsel.

A third post, chief compliance officer, was created. It is filled by Kevin Rogan at $170,000.

In furnishing the pay figures, Christopher Kay, NYRA's chief executive officer, said Lambert is stepping into a job that had paid his predecessor Ken Handal $425,000. He added Lambert was paid much more in his former job as general counsel at Deloitte Consulting. In addition, Rogan's compensation was greater at his last job at Siemens.
