But if CDI wants to cling to the hackneyed tote excuse, as an alternative, take Steve Crist's suggestion and allow for exacta wagering to spice this tired thing up.

Steve, just for the record, I have been told by high-level execs at CD that the tote system in place RIGHT NOW will not allow it. Changes would have to be made. Then the issue of cost comes into play.
