Oops, sorry my bad then, it would be a mistake for the track to do it, I think it's a mistake for them to run the totes now, let third parties do it, as you see in the UK and Australia, they do a much better job of promotion and incentives (i.e. if your horse finishes second, get a free bet/refund)
Edit: Should also add in that while on track at Flemmington and Rosehill, every bookie had a laptop with the Betfair market up, probably to catch early moves and to lay off all their action.
