Capital OTB discontinues free PP's

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

I know this may sound "cheap" to some...but I was disappointed to recieve a e-mail from Capital OTB today saying that they will no longer provide free past performances from tracks they are covering. It was due to contractual issues . Now, they will charge $1.00 a day for the same product that was free. They'll deduct $7.00 a week from your phone-a-bet account.
Grant it, the PP's weren't like DRF or BRISNET, but since I was getting them for the past year, I tend to wager more during the week. I believe, like in Vegas where some sort of PP's are free to the wager public as a "perk", the more you provide for the bettor...the more he'll play. I guess this gives me a good reason to cut back on my wagering for the spring and summer until Saratoga. All this might sound petty, but it's the principle to me.
