The New York Racing Association announced July 11 that a new contractual agreement has been reached with FanDuel/TVG to the satisfaction of both parties. As a result, pari-mutuel wagering on the summer meet at Saratoga Race Course will once again be available on TVG/FanDuel platforms.
“We are pleased to have reached a resolution that will allow FanDuel/TVG customers across the country to wager on NYRA racing now and moving forward,” said Tony Allevato, NYRA chief revenue officer. “In accordance with the goals stated at the outset of this process, NYRA will be dedicating significant funding to support New York’s horsemen and strengthen the state’s Thoroughbred racing ecosystem.”
As part of the new agreement, FanDuel/TVG will also be making a sizable contribution to the NYRA Foundation to further the impact of non-profit organizations and service providers active in backstretch services, Thoroughbred aftercare and more. The NYRA Foundation establishes a pathway for businesses and individuals to contribute to a variety of worthy endeavors connected to Thoroughbred racing in New York State.
“We are happy to have reached a multi-year agreement with the New York Racing Association and to extend our 24-year wagering partnership,” said Andrew Moore, Fanduel Group’s general manager of racing. “We look forward to the Saratoga meet and beyond and to supporting the good work of the NYRA Foundation.”
The 2024 summer meet at historic Saratoga Race Course opens Thursday and will continue through Sept. 2. The annual 40-day meet will feature 17 grade 1 flat races and two grade 1 steeplechase races as part of 71 stakes worth $20.75 million in purses.
