NYRA Gets Temporary Extension
-
- December
- 27
The state Racing and Wagering Board today approved dates in 2008 for the New York Racing Association to run racing temporarily at Aqueduct, Belmont and Saratoga.
But the 30-day approval is contigent on NYRA working out a deal with the state’s racing oversight board, which will take over racing on Jan. 1 when NYRA’s current contract expires.
State leaders have yet to reach an agreement on who will run the three tracks permanently and NYRA has not agreed yet to operate the tracks under the oversight board’s control.
The Racing and Wagering Board said it would give NYRA a temporary deal to run the races so racing can continue until a permanent solution is found.
