Steve has mentioned on the show that one of the reasons that CDI does not allow an AE list has to do with the ancillary promtional items that are sold in conjunction with the Derby. At the same time there was some concern expressed at the loss of handle when Uncle Mo scratched from the field. From those facts I would deduce that CD puts more value on revenue/profit from those promotional items than they do from the incremnetal revenue generated by 20 instead of 19 starters.
