Unfortunately, NYRA indirectly gets screwed by this move. Since the only feed I can get in NYC is the NYCOTB feed, I cannot get the signals from those tracks blocked, therefore, I am not betting on tracks I normally would through my NYRA account. Frucher must go immediately!
Also, absolutely no explanation from NYCOTB on their website as to why these signals are being blocked, they must think that all of their customers are dumb suckers. I hope the legislature wakes up, breaks up OTB and gives the tracks control of OTB's in NY State where it should be. Though, considering how much sense consolidation would make I am not too hopeful.
