NYRA STATEMENT ON TVG’S DECISION NOT TO SHOW BELMONT PARK RACES

ELMONT, N.Y. – The following is a statement from The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) regarding TVG’s decision not to air Saturday’s Belmont Park races:

“TVG made the decision not to show today’s races at Belmont Park, either live or by replay, without contacting NYRA,” said NYRA Executive VP and COO Hal Handel. “TVG has the right to display our races but they make their own decisions on what programming to offer. We have encouraged TVG to revisit the issue, but ultimately it is out of our control.”
