Sky Sports Racing Agrees Deal With New York Racing Association
October 23, 2019
Sky Sports Racing has agreed to a multi-year rights partnership deal with the New York Racing Association.
The new agreement means Sky Sports will have exclusive UK and Ireland broadcast rights for all races from Woodbine, Saratoga, Aqueduct and Belmont Park Racecourses.
Matthew Imi, Chief Executive, At The Races said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with two racing organisations as forward-thinking and respected as NYRA and Woodbine. Their venues host high quality racing and their East coast locations are increasingly attracting British and Irish trained horses. This complements our offering of the world’s best international racing, and we’re excited about promoting and showcasing NYRA and Woodbine racing in the UK and Ireland.”
Tony Allevato, Chief Revenue Officer, NYRA said: “Partnering with Sky Sports will expand the reach of NYRA’s acclaimed television simulcast program and provide viewers in the UK with high quality daily coverage of Aqueduct Racetrack, Belmont Park and Saratoga Race Course. To be featured prominently on Sky Sports Racing and its digital At The Races channels will benefit New York’s horsemen and grow the sport.”
