At first glance on the harness side, they are missing Grand River, Georgian Downs, Batavia, Alberta Downs and Tioga....and probably more. On the thoroughbred side, Sandy Downs isn't there. |

Optimum takeout has nothing to do with the cost of the show. It is the takeout level that tracks and horsemen make the most money bottom line. It doesn't matter if a casino costs 25 million a year... |
