The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) today announced the implementation of penny breakage, a horseplayer-friendly measure that will result in all wagers placed on NYRA races being paid to the penny instead of the tiered breakage model that was previously in effect under New York Law.
In addition to these legislative victories, the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) adopted rule changes on August 25 to largely eliminate the practice of coupling entries for horses running under shared ownership.
