I was referring to the benefits of the overall revenue that NYRA Bets generates.. not suggesting it as a justification for the promotion. However, I will reiterate that the platform provides more benefit to the industry by its' design than any other betting operation. And I acknowledged it's a provincial view, but as a stable, I'm involved in breeding and racing NY breds and have a vested interest.

As you said, they're trying to draw people to the platform. Despite the excluded jurisdictions, it's available to a vast majority of players. It's an imperfect concept.

It would be interesting to hear from Mr Allevato on ATR, ???

Good suggestion Benny. We has planned to do a segment at Saratoga last summer but ran out of time.

I can concur with that. It's an awesome bet that excludes players.

I've been thinking a lot about this and the TV programs.

I love it because I've played NY for 40 years. NY is over 25% (Maybe more) of the US handle for the year. Most of that is through ADW's or other tracks. NYRAets lets them take more of that handle as if it is on-track.

Does it help NY horsemen, absolutely. Does it help NYRA, yes too.

I think this is an ingenious plan, the more I think of it.
