Harefooted and harebrained hypotheses

JetBlue had itself a little bit of a day, when, on my suggestion, they Twittered they were giving away 1000 tickets to people that showed up at certain locations in NYC.

I really think the tracks should consider marketing themselves to the public. Who knows, people might come...but they would probably need a working toilet.

Would the iPad not lend itself, elegantly, as a platform for ADW wagering? Twinspires and whoever else could make themselves an app and charge, say, $99 as a promotional rate and then a $1 user fee for each wager. Tracks and horsemen could then fight over distribution rights and the FCC could cut off Wi-Fi signals to selected cities. It would be dreamy.

Anyway, just saying.

Love the Ipad for racing related applications. Betting's an obvious one, but I'd love to use it at the sales, too, with an interactive catalog that I could take notes on and not have to carry heavy catalog books that fall apart on you, etc.
