I thought this was a big deal. Players have been complaining about this for over a decade. I was a bit surprised NYRA wasn't given more credit for doing this.I am actually glad their handle has not declined over all. I guess they are betting in other pools which is okay. Overall,I think they are doing a great job with this. I haven't heard of any other jurisdiction doing this, It has to be a plus and perhaps other positive changes will come.
