No this isn't Gordon Gecko, but the recent decision by all three Triple Crown Tracks to have it their way has cost Racing a great promotion and marketing tool.

The loss of the $5 Million Bonus needs to be replaced immediately. Visa was a quality sponser and brandname.

Do not know what kind of premium Visa was paying on the Ins Policy, but the marketing "brains" who decided to split with a gimmick that has worked need to squeeze a few bucks out of their take and each Track needs to pay their fair share.
