NYRA Partners With ParisLongchamp Racecourse

The New York Racing Association partnered with the ParisLongchamp Racecourse to offer a Pick 4 wager this Sunday, featuring two Grade 1 races at Belmont Park and two Group 1 races from the French racetrack, including Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. The Arc, which has a purse of €5M ($5.74M), and the €500,000 ($573,700) Prix de l'Opera Longines will be broadcast live in the U.S. on FS2 as part of the NYRA’s broadcasting partnership with Fox Sports. The 90-minute broadcast of the two most prestigious races in France will begin at 9:30am Sunday. The Belmont races that are part of the Trans-Atlantic 50 cent Pick 4 wager, the $500,000 Flower Bowl and the $400,000 Frizette will be broadcast later that afternoon on NYRA's simulcast show. The NYRA said, "This will be the first time the Arc will be broadcast live nationwide in the U.S." This is the first partnership between NYRA and ParisLongchamp.
