NYRA complained that OTB was accepting telephone wagers on these races at a time when it was conducting thoroughbred racing at Belmont Park and therefore exceeded the authority granted to it by § 1002 of the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law.
We note that article 10 was enacted in 1984 for the stated purpose of allowing, on an experimental basis, the simulcasting of horse races and pari-mutuel betting thereon with the intent to promote the growth of the racing industry and generate additional revenues, both for the industry and government.
NYRA's contention that the statute does not authorize in-home simulcasting "for purposes of pari-mutuel wagering" is contradicted by this provision, which permits in-home simulcasting "provided (i) the simulcasting consists only of those races on which pari-mutuel betting is authorized for each of the contracting off-track betting corporations" (Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law § 1003[1][a]).

NEW YORK – A report by the state attorney general's office found corruption and a lack of accountability at the nonprofit corporation that runs New York's premiere horse racing tracks, including the home of the Belmont Stakes.
The 64-page report portrays the association's culture as one in which track tellers freely used money from their "cash boxes" to place their own bets, give loans or run money laundering operations, The New York Times reported Saturday.
It said the association, which handles about $3 billion annually, is so "insular, opaque and unaccountable" that the state should consider ending its stewardship of the three tracks.
