As one of the ADWs that I use, I have no issue with DRF having a "touch" on that $1. The money might not be flowing to horsemen/purses in the same way, but that "touch" is flowing to a definite stakeholder in racing. Is racing as a whole better or worse off with a healthier DRF? I'll say better. Of course not all will agree.
