Maybe an instructional video on the website... and a simple short version that can run a couple times a day during the raceday broadcast?

How about at Saratoga, dressing up roving educators in 'Grand Slam' baseball jerseys with instructional 'Grand Slam' scratch-off game/brochures that teach people the bet and all win some simple promotional prize that promotes and educates...

There's ways to get people interested remembering the whole time that ultimately, you're trying to get these people into the Grand Slam as a means to them betting P3's, P4's and perhaps even P6's eventually.

She needs to prove she can do a better job educating Steve first.
