That does seem short sighted. What percentage of people go to the track and spend less than $10 through the windows? It's gotta be small.

If it weren't for the derby CDI would be a penny stock.

This is the same track that makes you pay $5 when you go outside, from the Matt Winn dining room. After you have paid $20+ for a smallish buffet that would be comped at a casino.
They nickel and dime the player to death, all the while taking 20% of everything you gamble. It pisses me off everytime I make the trip up to CD(or any track). They wonder why everyone is running to the casinos instead of the track.
I wonder how us horseplayers would be treated if CD had Slots??

Buy a KEEP card for $15, free admission at all KY tracks all year (other than Oaks/Derby days.)

Not that it justifies CDI's bad judgement on this subjuct, but wasn't the on track handle per person incredibly low for their Friday night cards last spring?

Well here's a bright idea. If the on-track handle was low why don't they construct a nightclub in that gigantic facility?

I know why. Because they are lazy, overpaid douchenozzles. They are a shining example of why this country is on the brink of collapse.

Handle was up huge, not sure about per person.

FYI all Hollywood Park is $10 every day, so I don't see the hate for CD charging ten bucks for this. Especially considering they are allowing KEEP cards in for free.

Don't even get me started on what they charge for those days. Silly. You should encourage people to come.

On Derby Day?? Have you been to one? They should encourage people to stay home because it is a madhouse
