I don't see why not.
Unless certain ADWs have long-term contracts in place stipulating that they will pay a certain percentage of revenue for the track signal, Churchill/Magna could just tell the ADWs that the price for the signal has gone up.

Not in and of itself.
But the Churchill management and the horsemen and might decide that they can find some middle ground more easily by squeezing more money out of the ADWs.
This could backfire, of course.
If enough ADWs decide that they aren't going to pay more for the signals, then Churchill will be in deep trouble.
They will have just lost a revenue stream that they can no longer get along without.
The horsemen there will suffer as well, of course.
