To many of us this Fox adventure has been nothing but disruptive to our means of formerly playing New York racing - primarily through TVG - which centralized our racing activity, and was a one-stop shop for many of the tracks we played.
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.

This is a terrible take. NYRA didn’t sell out to anyone. They took a great opportunity to deliver their content with a provider that has significantly more exposure than TVG. If it inconveniences you they have put a TON of alternate options in place. The feed of the show is free on YouTube. It is also available on RTN.
NYRA is trying to develop its ADW while showcasing its racing and racetracks. Is that accomplished when a Saratoga race is shown on tape delay in August for Gulfstream? No. Each company is focused on their own self-interests.
