Races from the Belmont at Aqueduct meet run by the New York Racing Association began to be blacked out on Thursday on FanDuelTV and its online horse racing betting company TVG after the two sides could not agree on a new contract, according to NYRA and FanDuel.
An earlier contract between NYRA and FanDuel expired on Monday [July 1], but the two sides had continued to negotiate through Wednesday. The Thursday card at Aqueduct [was] NYRA’s first live racing date since Sunday.
The blackout is occurring one week in advance of the opening day for NYRA’s highly popular Saratoga meet, which draws interest from horseplayers nationally.
