Churchill lowers pick 5 takeout

Where's the love for Churchill reducing the takeout on their pick 5 to 15%? Yes this could be considered overdue as many big tracks keep the pick 5 in this range, but for management not exactly considered player friendly for awhile, have to give them a thumbs up for making a big reduction (from 22%) in time for Derby day.

Daily, three pick 4's, two pick 5's and a 20 cent single pick 6.
I'm "in" this spring, works out just fine with Tampa Bay just closing which also has two pick 5's daily.

This is the main reason why it became my favorite bet. Adding 1 more race never really impacted my win % if I liked the card, I've noticed. $2 mins with pick 6 though and you really need a card you love.

Honestly, how can you justify betting into a 22% take pick 4 pool now? Just add the race. I think it's inertia ...

And at Churchill, you get 2 of them. I'm all in on Saturday.

Must have been a clerical error.

What I didn't realize is where they placed these (3-7 and 10-14?)
