Anyone have a good insight to the the structure?

1) What is the current arrangement for NYRA to share revenue with NYS.

2) How are current simulcast / OTB deals structured.

3) How is NYRA reimbursed for TV viewing rights (TVG, etc.).

Thanks

...and one other question...What is the status of the Advanced Reservation Program for Saratoga ie Season Ticket Holders ? Do they plan to continue this program or stiff us 20+ year Season Ticket Holders ?

NYRA addressed this and said they did not feel it appropriate to offer applications and collect money from anyone until they knew for a fact that they would be running Saratoga next year.
