For one reason or another, correctly or incorrectly, CD feels an AE list is not the best move for business. My theory is that this refusal has to do with advance wagering and bettor confusion.

As for the Derby Draw, it generates revenue.
Derby Barbie, Emo concert at Arlington Million Day last year from an unknown singer, Matrix, Over-Under, Derby Party, Chief Party Officer, Kempton Park Challenge.

I wonder what proof they had that the above moves would help business.

If they just lowered takeout a bit and sat on their asses they would do a better job at increasing business.
