From the article:
"Among the terms of the consent judgment, the THG defendants agreed not to encourage any horsemen’s group negotiating wagering deals to take the same stance as another horsemen’s group.
"Also, the THG agreed not to represent horsemen involved in negotiations with any Churchill track, TwinSpires.com or other Churchill affiliated company."

Comment/Question:
How is the THG negotiating stance (as a group, fixing rates) any different from the TrackNet (owned in part by CDI) negotiating stance when it deals with independent ADW's over signal fees?
