Is it really so much harder to bet it now than it was in 2000? Or is Churchill Downs promoting it less than they did in the early years?
I'm a little worried Churchill is going to drop it entirely.

Basically the thought is how useless having only 23 single entries is, and how easy it would be to include ALL TC nominated horses, which would provide the value required of a future bet. Right now there isn't anything to gain by betting into this future pool other than pride.
