It's amazing Aaron...you literally have to fight for everything to get things done. Hope all is cleared for Saratoga day 2.

Its amazing that here in Nassau and Suffolk counties, NYRA has such a strong hold on the OTB channel compared to the rest of NYS. Only NYRA during the day when they run, then at 6 PM it switches to some stupid Italian garbage (it does this even when NYRA is still running races!!!). Then from 8 PM till racing is over its just audio of thoroughbred and harness racing with the odds scrolling across the screen. The rest of NYS shows racing 12 hours every day, harness and thoroughbred yet Long Island gets shafted. You would think they would want to promote racing from the other 8 tracks in the state and show them. How bout a second channel. Cablevision has room as there are empty channels in the 70's. Show other racing, if not when NYRA is running their races at least afterwards for the rest of the day.

It appears the races from Saratoga are available on cable in Nassau County.

Perhaps the marketing ploy is to make the races mysterious so that you will want to go to the track to see if they really exist. I always though restricting access to your product to be a very good strategy.
