Let's just say that correlated 1:1 to the stock (which it's often magnified, but for argument's sake)... 2% is a difference of $30 million to the market cap.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... they don't have people who understand racing and gaming in place, they have knucklehead MBA's who see everything as an asset or liability on the balance sheet and P&L on the income statement. Not saying it's right, but that's what they're doing.
Phil he is thinking like a horseman not a business owner.

facts are simple your horse wins the KD and is worth 8 figs plus save the BS for Rick Porter

No actually I am thinking like an informed person who has been speaking out against the actions of CDI for years on this board.

The idea that if CDI comps undercard owners some seats that they will be failing shareholders in laughable. Bob Evans corporate internet porn account subtracts more from the bottom line than those seats.

I really dont understand how anyone would want to attend the Kentucky Derby for that matter. Absurd admissions, long lines everywhere and not even a good view of the race. I rather go to track early, bet my picks and come home and watch it on my own 65 inch TV with friends/family.

Buy some CDI shares and just worry about earning vs. programs, free seats and guys worth 100 plus million crying about BS.

Winning the KD is priceless and winning a graded stake on KD day is the greatest advertisement for people trying to wrangle new investment from potential new clients. The BS that CDI is pulling i9s meaningless when you succeed at the their track. If people dont like head to Penn, PDI Will Rodger or vavapi

Also just look at what has been going on at the Fair Grounds in recent years.
Things are getting worse there also.
And CDI. does n't seem to want to do anything to fix all there problems there.
