Don't have an opinion honestly as I don't know enough about the specific scenarios vis a vis tracks, platforms and horsemen to know who has the 'right of way'. That's why I yield to guys like Crist, Hegarty, Ted Mudge, Scott Daruty to explain the positions of each party involved. Everyone has responsibility and stakes in the system, and everyone needs to make a fair share. Ostensibly, no one can possibly be 100% right or wrong with their stance in this. Simply and naively, I think everyone needs to respect each other's vital role in the system and equitably divide the revenues.
