I don't think they will open up the wagering. I think it's Churchill/Magna's intent to drive out the TVGs, Youbets, and Brisbets no matter what the short term costs are
You're probably dead on and it stinks. Give everyone access to everything and let the consumer decide who has the best rewards, service, interface. The idea we have to have multiple accounts to bet the races is dumb. It only benefits them, not the consumer.
