Racing board to vote on franchise extension
-
- December
- 28
The New York State Racing and Wagering Board is meeting tomorrow to consider approving a brief extension of the New York Racing Association’s contract so it could continue running the state’s three thoroughbred racing tracks temporarily. NYRA, whose contract expires Dec. 31, has applied for an extension until Jan. 23, a spokesman for the governor said today.
The Racing and Wagering Board will take over racing in the state on Jan. 1 because state officials have not agreed which company will be awarded a new contract to run the tracks at Aqueduct, Belmont and Saratoga. Negotiations between Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s office and legislative leaders on that issue continued Friday, the spokesman said.
