In a challenging industry during rough economic times goodwill is often as important as squeezing every penny out of the kitty. The Derby will only take them so far...

You are misguided in your interpretation. CDI is NOT doing anything illegal or "misguided". I cannot "See" how you could glean THAT from my post.
What CDI is doing is what any company does...optimizing profits. Last I read, THAT is not illegal. CDI wants more $ for their signal vis a vis a higher charge to ADW's for their track signal.
YOU linked Paulick's article. He detailed the same points I made in my post.
CDI wants MORE MONEY for their signal...and it's GOAL is to place ALL CDI-owned track bets through TwinSpires. Gee, THAT sounds like a mono
poly.
YOU DID read the article YOU posted
Sorry if you are distressed that CDI is not the "old Churchill Downs".
Their recent actions...withholding CHD signal from ADW's last year, and now this latest flap is NOT demonstrating any concern for customers, or as someone posted...
good will.
