KY Downs gotta love it
Kentucky Downs has lowered the takeout on its Pick 4 wager from 19 to 14% ahead of its upcoming boutique meeting. We want to be known as the horseplayers= racetrack,@ said C.J. Johnsen, Kentucky Downs= director of broadcasting and interstate wagering. In keeping with that goal, we felt a
reduction in our Pick 4 takeout was warranted. The low takeout
combined with our field size and quality should boost pool sizes
even more to make it one of the best and most attractive
wagers in racing. Jeff Platt, president of the Horseplayers Association of North
America, was pleased by the decision. I think thats awesome, said Platt. I'm at a loss for words, its that awesome. The Pick 4 is hugely popular among players,
insanely popular. Having a 14% Pick 4 is huge.
Kentucky Downs will race Sept. 1, 6, 8, 9 and 13 and will offer
