NYC OTB are AHoles!
I would like to try to understand NYCOTB's motivation in not "allowing" replays on the NYRA website. What could be the possible penalty for ignoring this? Could NYRA simply set up a youtube like site to put the replays on? This is just mindless that the state would bother to allow such nonsense or even enforce it. How can you prevent a company from showing its own product after the fact?
