A very archaic law that goes back to the opening of the OTB's in 1974ish; a political deal to make nice with everyone. Back in those dark ages there was only wagering on NY tracks 9 at NYRA and or 9 at Finger Lakes then you went home. No simulcasting, No co mingling of pools, you got out of state tracks on dark Tuesdays, some big races, another track if NYRA cancelled and separate betting pools.
There are a couple of non pari mutual off shore houses who are legit and will pay up to 30K per race on a A level track with sweet rebate programs.They are open today; not sure if anyone runs on Easter Sunday, I know Calder used to run a Christmas day program years ago but no longer does.
