this is a complete crock of shit
CAWs wait for all the money to enter the pools, and then they bet-so they couldn't care less when the races go off
common sense
now the drag might affect retail bets, but CAWs wait until after the race starts before their money enters the pools-so a drag doesn't affect them
I dont believe thay was actually the case either. But thats what he said. These CAWs can do anything from a tech standpoint. The drag reduction couldn't have been something they couldn't overcome from a technical view. That seems ludicrous.
My opinion is that the the drag reduction did impact the retail space. The caws complained, they couldn't bet as much as they want/needed to and without that caw money, the meadowlands quickly reversed course.
