Simulcast Impasse
blacking out The Meadowlands signal has come to an end
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (Friday, March 27, 2015) – The
simulcast dispute that had prohibited certain bettors from wagering on The
Meadowlands has been resolved. Effective tonight, Friday, March 27, 2015,
those customers who wager at Mid-Atlantic sites will be able to bet into the
largest pools in harness racing once again.
“First and foremost I want to apologize to our customers who
have been unable to partake in The Meadowlands product these past four months,”
said General Manager/C.E.O. Jason Settlemoir. “We are very thankful that
this impasse has come to an end and we appreciate our customers sticking with
us through this difficult time. We thank them for being fans of The
Meadowlands and are elated that they will be able to wager into our pools
again.”
“We have worked hard over these past few months to do our
best at The Meadowlands to help resolve this dispute,” said Meadowlands
Chairman Jeff Gural. “It was very unfortunate, and we are very sorry that
so many people were affected and essentially blacked out from wagering on our
product. We are hopeful that with this impasse being lifted they are
eager to return to wagering on the world’s greatest harness racing. We
thank them for their continuous support.”
Post time for the 13-race Meadowlands program is set for
7:15 P.M.
