CDI may feel that an AE is not a good move for business but that certainly doesnt mean they are right.

The Derby draw generates revenue? Are they selling tickets now?

The Derby draw is televised, so I'm sure ESPN is paying something. Even if it's not much, it is and hour worth of publicity.

There is also a lot of activity around the draw which gets people out into businesses spending money.
