I don't have enough understanding of the concept to fairly judge as I didn't get involved when it was out there initially. I know it's too successful to ignore, and if it can be formulated to allow tracks/horsemen to share in the handle, it has the potential to entice a new generation of player and be vital to whatever is ahead in North American racing. But if it only siphons action out of the pari-mutuel pool, it's a problem.
