I don't know how you can penalize the sport's greatest supporters and expect it to survive?

I've a feeling more will be joining you HH

With thinking like "Increase take....", in a few years time the Horseplayers of America will probably be on the endangered species list

I guess the tracks or anybody with power didn't stand up for not increasing takeout.

Moron disease seems to be highly contagious.

FRANKFORT, Ky. -- A House leader from Louisville yesterday filed bills to increase or extend pari-mutuel wagering taxes

Bettors also would contribute through higher takeout rates – the amount kept for taxes, purses and tracks before winning bets are paid. The maximum would be raised by almost a quarter of one percent, with the increase dedicated to the commission. The task force report said that would raise about $2.9 million a year.
