Webis Holding Makes Deal With New York Racing Association

Webis Holdings Plc subsidiary WatchandWager.com LLC has made a simulcast wagering deal with the New York Racing Association (NYRA). As a result of the agreement WatchandWager customers will now be able to wager from three of the New York's largest race tracks operated by the NYRA including Aqueduct Racetrack in South Ozone Park, Queens; Belmont Park in Elmont, Long Island; and Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs. Ed Comins, president of WatchandWager.com LLC, said, "Whilst California Chrome didn't quite land that elusive Triple Crown, our new relationship with NYRA got off to an excellent start on Saturday. Coverage of the Belmont was huge within the US and internationally with all sources handle 32% up on previous years, and NBC reporting the highest sporting viewership figures since the Sochi Olympics. It was a welcome shot in the arm for US Racing, and we look forward to working with NYRA to continue this positive momentum."
