I didn't see this posted earlier. If it was, my apologies. One particular section of the article caught my eye. I always get a bit nervous when I see takeout mentioned, but remain hopeful that it would be to potentially lower it as opposed to raise it. Happy Holidays everyone.

• An early and late 50 cent Pick-4.

I love how they say only 20 percent , like that's a low takeout. I don't care about comparisons to other tracks. 20 percent isn't a low takeout for any wager.

I'm looking forward to the 50 cent Pick-5 with a 15 percent takeout.
It's the best bet in Horseracing.
