The proverbial rock and a hard place.
And a lot are in shackles. For example, many "pompous executives" would have a hard time convincing all the powers that be (horsemen's groups, the state, etc. etc...in essence everyone who has their HAND in the TILL), that lowering takeout and thus risking lower revenues would be a GOOD THING in the long run.
So yeah, they are in shackles...but only because the industry as a whole has put itself there due to poor decision making through the years.
People think a track can just wave their magic wand and the next day takeout will drop a few points on a whim?
