NYC OTB: Court dismisses bankruptcy case..

[Alan07]

The New York Racing Association is working on a number of initiatives it hopes can make up for an estimated $33 million shortfall in revenue for the company and purses caused by the shutdown this week of New York City Off-Track Betting Corp.

NYRA plans to open its own OTB parlor at Belmont Park beginning Sunday, has asked the state to allow for video-streaming of its races on the Internet, and hopes to make a deal with the city to put its races back on the television station formerly utilized by NYCOTB.

"Nice move NYRA"? Unbelievable. It's mandated by state law.

glad to see nyra will stay open past 7pm at aqueduct in violation of state law. but the belmont cafe will only stay open past the 7pm deadline at the discretion of the manager. I don't see why nyra doesn't have the same policy at both places, at this critical time to lock up new customers why put the manager on the hot seat to violate a "mandated state law".Now is the time to cater to evey gambler in nyc if you need to reduce hours do it later.

I heard NYRA was trying to pick up that opportunity. I don't know if it has happened or of NYC OTB is still running it.

Since when did the State allow NYRA to take bets on Harness races?

I'm guilty of suffering many fools on the internet and you never know when another will manifest itself.

"The really bad news is that the members of the state's legislative body are spurred to action. This is never good in New York. "
