| By Marese O'Hagan
Fox Sports has agreed a deal to become the official wagering partner and the official media rights partner of the New York Racing Association (NYRA), while it is also set to acquire a stake in the association’s betting business, NYRA bets.
The previous deal gave a Fox Sports subsidiary the option of acquiring a 25% stake in NYRA Bets, an Advance Deposit Wagering (ADW) platform available in 30 states. Fox Sports will exercise this option and acquire the 25% stake by summer 2021 pending regulatory approval.
