Excellent - exactly the person that needs to speak, Knicks - thanks for volunteering.

I am not denying that TVG covers just about every racing circuit around the globe; after all, TVG does not run anything in the racing industry, but just skims margin from the wagering pool. So, your decision is motivated by their deals. Are they better than other platforms? If so, which ones?

Which all brings me to the bigger point. When TVG takes the majority of your take-out cut and pays it to owners/shareholders as opposed to the tracks that pay the purses and keeps the entire game going, does that matter to you?

Next question as a TVG user : if Churchill Downs was to close (and I mean shut down, bulldozed and gone) does that matter? If Belmont closed, does that matter? If either of the Kentucky or NYRA circuit matters, why not wager directly with their platforms?

Now, before anyone asks, I am not a "NYRA shill". In fact, I wish I was. Truth be told, my favorite track in the world (RR for those in the know) was lost to parasite wagering groups like NYC/OTB, Nassau/OTB, and Suffolk/OTB. I am struggling to see how TVG is any different from those.
