How can you prevent a company from showing its own product after the fact?

The six statewide OTB corporations are filled with political patronage cushy jobs. The way I see it is the people who NY'ers elected look at horse players as total degenerates and they figure if they can't watch or listen to the races online at NYRA's website, they will go to OTB and watch and wager.
This is cynical point of view on my part, but having been a NY'er I though state government is a ONE PARTY system. The Republican Party in NY is a farce. When you elect left of center politicians this is what you get.
