Stuff like that is like sucking dick for crack rocks on the train tracks, and fingerfucl<ing someones grandmother because they think she has a dime stashed away in her pus$y.
It's the competition among tracks -- to try and win the dollar of the compulsive degenerate bettor who isn't giving himself a chance.
And I'm sure that you'll get a few dollars extra dollars dancing around Saratoga's post time - just as Tampa tries to dance around Gulfstream and Santa Anita.
However, that isn't going to lead to explosive long-term handle growth. It's not going to lead to better purses. It's not going to lead to repealing the "suckers game" image attached to betting horses, it's not going to add interest in the sport and bring in the money of a lot of useful new faces.
