In my opinion ultimately the whole future wager concept is less about revenue off the bet, which really isn't much, and more about the chatter and getting people to talk and think Derby.

good points. they need to try to find ways to entice people to pay attention to horses and racing more, and things like this can only help. no reason why you can't try to generate derby interest that much earlier. it will help the preps as well.
