Even if things like this don't make a ton of sense or even if their inception was conceived more as a trial balloon than as an end-game itself, I find no fault with a jurisdiction/track that has managed to identify trends and the future and is attempting to build that side of the horse racing business. It sure seems like everywhere else that I look, they are either trying to cram a square brick into a round hole by trying to build the business as though it is 1972 or they are just stealing bricks from the racing business to supplement the profitable part of the business. It will never get me to sign up for an account, but I bet that it does get someone else to. That can't be bad for racing in 2017. And anything that isn't bad almost has to be good these days.
