JR: Boycott the race.

Boscar Obarra: CD is a public company, so some bad press might not be taken lightly by the stockholders.

Wrongly: Who in the media is going to cover this?  Not DRF, not Bloodhorse and ESPN please.  

CD provided some numbers: roughly 20,000 tickets will be made available to the general public.  17,000 people have registered for those tickets and those chosen few can purchase up to 6 tickets.  Let\'s say a couple of thousand get pissed off and drop out, leaving 15,000.  Maybe 5,000 get the \"opportunity\" to purchase tickets.  Leaving CD with a cool half million dollars.

Little if any bad press versus a half million, lets extort our customers.
