Making the minimum payout $2.02 would not eliminate minus pools, it would just reduce the number, or minimize the size. Eliminating breakage without a minimum payout would do it, as people wouldn't bridge jump if they knew they could actually lose money on a successful bet.

This only states that the host track has to offer the pool. It does not state that a guest site must accept wagers for it. For example, if NYRA cancelled show betting on one of its races, I doubt Del Mar would be required to create a pool to offer it (assuming the field size requirements were met). There may be another rule that covers it though for in-State races.
