I received the following email from a Canadian horseplayer earlier today:

Jeff,
Woodbine has a longstanding policy of stealing from Canadian simulcast bettors unfortunate enough to bet triactors on races run at host tracks in the US.
The policy goes something like this:
Woodbine's triactor takeout is 27% and one of the worst anywhere.
But that's not heinous enough apparently.
When I as a Canadian simulcast bettor "win" a triactor on a race run at a US host track, and that track has a lower triactor takeout than Woodbine's 27%, my "winning" payoff is given a haircut.
Instead of receiving the actual payoff collected by bettors at the US host track, I as a Canadian receive a payoff that is adjusted downward artificially so as to make the payoff equal to what it would have been had the triactor takeout at the US host track been 27% like Woodbine.
What I want to know is this:
Now that Woodbine has a 25% takeout pick5, are they planning on turning 12%, 14%, and 15% takeout pick5's for races run at US host tracks into a Woodbine 25% takeout pick5?

I think I know the answer but I am going to contact track management at Woodbine before posting further.
