i just heard that Keeneland tripled the price of their box seats this year.
just from past experience, usually when the takeout gets hiked the handle's have initially gone up lately, then after a few weeks it comes down hard.
since Keeneland is a very short meet the boycott may have a minimal effect on their handle. and what they hope is that you forget the increase next year and go back to giving them the business. a boycott will have little effect unless you plan to continue on in April and then again October of 2018.
