This should be a call for 21st century improvements to wagering . What about the idea of co-mingling races, harness and flat , within the Quik Draw channel ? Or a daily pick 9 lotto on race days ? The bets should be, as I read here before, exclusive to these bets . Like the pick 9 should be all 4 th place horses, something the tracks don't offer . Maybe a reverse super , or exacta or tri for the daily races or pick the exact order of finish for all the runners .

You've got wifi, internet, phones to access all standard wagers. There are solutions .

Thats some statement from his press office: maybe what he should have stated was I am sorry as well as the past three administrations for dicking along the VLT's for NYRA for 10 years assisting to the decaying state of racing and the 1,026 employees of NYC-OTB.

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.
