Though they were acutely aware that New York State's COVID-19 protocols prevented spectators from attending professional sporting events, NYRA officials projected that handle on Saratoga racing would be stronger than on 40 days at Belmont. The early returns are showing they were correct. The opening day handle was up 21% from the rainy Saratoga opener in 2019. The first weekend, a total of four days, showed a 9.4% increase. The trend continued on Wednesday, the first day of the second week, with a jump of 38%.

"Will Farish provided me with the opportunity of a lifetime and it has truly been an honor to work for him and with him over these many years," said Cline.

Saratoga Handle cont. from p1 NYRA Bets, and its television programming. In 2016, the Tony Allevato, the Chief Revenue Officer & President of NYRA inaugural season of Saratoga Live had 80 hours of national Bets, said officials spent a lot of time considering whether it broadcast time on the Fox Sports Network's FS2 channel. Last made sense to add the expense of opening Saratoga Race year, the total grew to 190 hours.

The package includes what it means to racing. It's the best in Thoroughbred racing," America's Day at the Races, as well as NYRA and he said. "When you think of Saratoga, you think of premier Downs racing. Fox's main sports channel, FS1 will carry 32 hours horse racing. I think it was of Saratoga Live and the G1 important to maintain that Runhappy Travers will be shown season and have the racing live in a 90-minute program on come up here, knowing that it Fox on Aug. 8. would be reflective in the Allevato worked for TVG for numbers, in our opinion.

Allevato, a California native, brought a deep resume of "By being on a mainstream sports network we are giving the experience in racing and television sports with him to NYRA in sport an opportunity to reach out to new fans, something that 2016. Since his arrival, he has overseen the development and horse racing has been preaching for decades and decades that growth of the company's advance deposit wagering platform, needed to be done," he said. "NYRA has now taken that step.

Allevato cont. "We will be coming out of all different types of sporting events, whether it's soccer games, baseball, NASCAR, you name it, we are capturing eyeballs that aren't traditionally watching horse racing. With sports betting now growing across the country it's a critical time for horse racing to get that crossover fan. We feel like the shows give us the best opportunity to expose those people to what we feel is the best racing in the country. With all the technology we have all the cameras, we are showing them a product that looks like a major league sporting event. We don't see any scenario where that is bad for horse racing." Still, Allevato said there were questions about whether it was the right move to leave TVG, the go-to racing channel in the U.S. "There was some criticism when we made the decision by a small number of people that there would be an inconvenience for viewers who would have to find the network," he said. "Sometimes we are on multiple Fox networks. One day we might be on for two hours on FS2 and then the rest of the day on FS1. For me, as a person who watches sports television, if I want to watch an event I find it. I think the inconvenience, if it exists, is a 30-second inconvenience in terms of locating where it's at." At the same time, every NYRA race is available every day in HD on NYRA's YouTube channel, which is also shown on the TDN homepage. "There are multiple ways for people to see the show," Allevato said. "We are exposing horse racing to more eyeballs than ever. It's pretty significant. While there were some complaints, we had a pretty long list of all the positives that came out of us being on Fox. One thing that was missing is that people who were criticizing us were working under the false assumption that Fox would still be giving us all these hours if we were non-exclusive. That was not the case." Allevato said that NYRA was building it television department before he arrived and that it has committed to investing in TV and its ADW platform. "Technology is always going to come. If you try to avoid it, it's going to run you over," he said. "From a horse racing standpoint, we have embraced technology. It started 20 years ago with the advent of advanced deposit wagering. At the time, people looked at it as a way to keep people away from the races. Now, fast forward 20 years later, imagine where horse racing would be today during in this pandemic if there was no advanced deposit wagering. Literally, the sport would be dead. Horse racing has put themselves in a position where they can at least continue and operate during these difficult times." The increasing television exposure has helped the NYRA Bets business. Allevato said that new accounts are up 150% over last year. With that fact in mind, the NYRA programming approach is aimed at embracing new and seasoned fans.
