The difference was noticable bigtime derby/oaks day. win pools were significantly lower for the races not allowed to be simulcasted. Derby might have been ok, but the rest of the card's pools were way, way down.

That actually isn't true at all, at least for Derby day.

Wagering on the Woodford Reserve and Derby was down, while wagering on the rest of the card was up almost across the board.
