I voted strongly agree and I wish you good luck.
But I doubt your efforts will make a differemce because bettors as a whole just do not care about the issue.
On any weekend this August, pick 4 pools at the two big meets will dwarf the pick 4 pools at Monmouth, and the takeout at Monmouth is 6% lower than DelMar and 11% lower than Saratoga.
Some might say this is all because of horse quality and the chance to hit big on a larger pool. Then again, that argument loses water when you see the Los Alamitos p-4 pools also dwarfing Monmouth.
Frankly, the best day-to-day (non carryover) takeout wager is the New Jersey
$.50 pick-5 with 15% takeout. And the pools are very modest.
