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.

Any thought that TVG is where you want to be unless you are the SoCal tracks seems odd - given TVG's propensity (likely based on contractual obligations) for prioritizing anything SoCal - post parades, interviews - over races that are actually happening live elsewhere.
I will say the way I have found the greatest pleasure in watching racing over the past few months is having my TVG screen open on my laptop to show me which races are upcoming, and switching between tracks on RTN through my Roku. Only when races go off simultaneously have I missed any races live that I want to see - and then the replay is available on RTN in minutes.
