I don't think they expect many people to turn up on track, they would mainly be aiming for a chance to get some extra turnover . The punting world is now a 24/7 thing, people are looking for something to bet on at all hours. Would also be a good idea to keep the breaks between races as short as possible so the punters don't lose attention.
I think it's worth a try, I can't see any reason why the industry participants wouldn't get behind it.
