It was totally related to the TV coverage, they even got some of the tracks to shift around their schedule to get the stakes they wanted on the same weekends so all the races with auto bids can be televised. That is surely a good thing for a sport that can't market itself and get tracks to cooperate with one another. I'm confused as to your point? They are freely admitting that it was set up with television and marketing in mind.
