Of course - and this is not talked about much - when CDI raises their signal fee for their big days, so does NYRA for theirs/Pegasus Cup etc - so it shuffles some revenue around.
I think they've done a great job with the Derby. But I hate they raised takeout for the other days a year. That just grinds bankrolls down and hurts the everyday player in the long run.

What do they raise their signal fee to for the Derby? How much is bet on track and off track?
The figure a couple years ago floated about was they make $100m on the Derby (or thereabouts, could include Oaks too).
