A contractual impasse between the New York Racing Association and TVG/FanDuel will result in the elimination of all NYRA content from TVG/FanDuel wagering platforms, effective immediately.

As a result, pari-mutuel wagering and live video from the ongoing Belmont at the Big A spring/summer meet are not currently available on TVG/FanDuel.

NYRA will continue negotiations with TVG/FanDuel to increase funds flowing to the sport and its stakeholders in New York.

“NYRA provides the racing content that fuels the profits of out-of-state ADWs like TVG/FanDuel,” NYRA chief revenue officer Tony Allevato said. “NYRA must prioritize the overall health of the sport and broader industry here in New York, and we will continue negotiations to seek an equitable resolution so that our racing is widely available nationally.”

“New York’s horse owners are deeply invested in making the NYRA racing product the best in the country,” said Tina Bond, president of the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association. “We staunchly agree that fair compensation for that investment is absolutely imperative. If the New York Thoroughbred industry thrives, we all benefit.”

“NYRA is working to broaden the economic benefits flowing to New York’s horse racing industry, and our membership supports these efforts in every way,” said Najja Thompson, executive director of the New York Thoroughbred Breeders. “The funds generated by ADWs carrying NYRA support breeding farms throughout the state, and we stand shoulder to shoulder with NYRA.”

NYRA Bets is the official wagering platform of Belmont at the Big A. Wagering on the Belmont at the Big A spring-summer meet also is available nationwide via Caesars Racebook, BetMGM and other advance-deposit wagering platforms.
