I think they would get more traction linking the feature race at both tracks. Call it the cross country Double Feature. This could even act to draw more interest in east coast players to get involved in the Santa Anita card waiting for the second half of their double. I probably wont get involved in its current format since the last race at many tracks is often an impoosible to decipher low level scrum involving a calvary of horses. Just my opinion but I laud them for trying something.

The last race at Belmont this fall hasn't been low level at all. The lowest level has been NY-MCLM/$40k followed by $25k-$40k CLM/N2L (or N3L's), NY-ALW's and 2yo Open or NY MSW's. They've been almost completely formful too, with 7 victorious favorites and only 3 winners of $20 or more in 23 races. Win mutual in the nightcap this fall (as a glance) has been about $11.00..

Will the races go off at the exact same moment or does that only work with stakes races?

Crist take on CCDD
A no brainer, as in whoever came up with this idea is lacking a few brain cells, A high takeout low payout bet is the antithesis of what is wanted and needed. I like SC's take on the other p4 p6 bets where he last race of the sequence is garbage, with maidens etc. but he says it much better than I.
" Rather than trying to promote a high-takeout, low-return bet, tracks should be paying more attention to the way they are arranging their races for the existing multirace wagers that people actually like and play. Southern California has long offered a chaotic and baffling maiden claimer, chock-full with first-time starters, as the last race of the day. It’s a cynical and customer-unfriendly attempt to withhold relevant information (i.e. win-pool odds on first-time starters) from customers playing pick threes, pick fours, and pick sixes in the blind. Now, sadly, the practice has gone cross-country, with New York frequently carding firster-filled races as its finale. Even Keeneland, which usually takes the high road, ruined the late multirace bets on its otherwise-stellar opening Saturday card last week by following five stakes with a last-race maiden event that had nine first-time starters. If racing wants to give customers what they want, which is a pretty good way to retain their patronage, it would offer cheap bets at lower takeouts with a chance for a big payoff, with the races thoughtfully arranged so that bettors aren’t playing roulette. They have gotten a lot more sophisticated than they were in the bygone days, when the daily double was the most exciting wager on the card." http://www.drf.com/news/crist-player...t-coast-double
