For one reason or another, correctly or incorrectly, CD feels an AE list is not the best move for business. My theory is that this refusal has to do with advance wagering and bettor confusion.

As for the Derby Draw, it generates revenue.
Actually this business is way less risk averse than normal businesses. The tracks are the only ones who are risk averse and that explains a lot in how they have stagnated.

CDI may feel that an AE is not a good move for business but that certainly doesnt mean they are right.

The Derby draw generates revenue? Are they selling tickets now?
