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. |
Perhaps if you read the article you would have read about CDI's not paying out revenues vis a via the terms of their contract. Aka- breaking a contract which they are being sued for. They have also recently been sued by the same party for not honoring the contractual terms of thier deal with Yum in which 50% of the revenue arising from that deal were to go to the general purse fund, something that CDI failed to do for 2 years and refused to grant requests for records though they are bound to do so.
Maybe lying in public and deceptive practices are technically "legal" but they are telling signs for a supposed industry leader.
"Optimizing profits" with no regard for the client or customer base or your public image is folly. There is one huge reason that the legislators of the state of KY has no alternate gaming (which would surely make them more profitable). That reason is CDI's arrogance (Meeker in particular) has made many state politicians reluctant to pass anything that would put serious cash in CDI's coffers.
