Fox Sports 1 was inconsistent with their scheduling, and many of us do not receive Fox Sports 2 as part of our cable package.
I, for one, am truly unhappy that NYRA has sold out to the commercial network, at the expense of it's grass roots patrons. While I might be the only vote against the extension, I honestly think the "Silent Majority" of we off-track NYRA players agree.

Every sport abandons its house network when there's money on the table. The Daytona 500 isn't on the Speed Channel, the NFL Network doesn't carry the conference championships, and the Golf Channel doesn't show the Masters.
NYRA is presumably making money here, and profitable tracks are good for bettors.
