Now it's appropriate. This is going to sound stupid, but I want to make sure that this rule is allowing us as a consumer to bet multiple races, whether I bet win parlays or show parlays or bet winning one race, then a show in the next race, and then a place in the third race. That's what we're allowing this to do now with this rule.

Okay.

That's all I need. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Are there any further questions from members? Are there any comments from the public? All right. Seeing none, the next JCAR meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 14, 2026, in this room, the finding and hearing room.
