Wrangled? Uh... no.

NYRA is paying the City of New York between $2,200,000-$3,000,000/year for the broadcast access.

Reverse engineer the fee. How much handle does that need to produce?

New York Racing Association President Charles Hayward has gone on the record as saying that he is surprised with the turnout and wagering popularity of the Aqueduct racetrack for thoroughbreds, which has seen its numbers go up during a time of industry upheaval and terrible weather in the state.
