I could/should have put this in USA but seeing how clever administrators work/protect their industry seemed relevant here at this present time

In the Sunday July 30 edition of Harness Racing Update a statement appeared blaming the SOA of New York for its role in negotiating with NYRA and the NY OTB’s establishing various benchmark revenue protections for the NY harness racing industry. Those protections, were negotiated to insure that NY’s revenue stream remained in place, or were added, when NYRA and the NY OTBs wanted to take out of state thoroughbred signal at night. That would have hurt New York harness racing which traditionally operated in the sole New York market — nighttime. All New York state harness track operators and horsemen supported those protections.
the provision that does not authorize NYRA BETs to take other than NYS harness signals at night

Imagine if only harness was allowed to be televised at night
