Should  lose, PR must change its stance on pro-takeout increases.

Who was responsible for this misguided effort?

Flying a loud machine around & around a venue full of skittish horses and annoying the patrons isn't necessarily the best way to win people over.

They should ban it at Woodbine. 767's 700 feet over the finish line all day every day. It doesn't seem to bother the horses, but one time on the top patio I almost spit beer on my waitress.

The only people possibly upset with this were upset at the boycott to begin with.
Woodbine has a plane either landing or taking off every two minutes right next door to them. I don't think planes bother horses.
Maybe a few patrons learned about takeout either from friends they were with or when they got home. Nothing wrong with that. Gamblers should know what the gamble is all about.

Get outta mine, Woodbine watcher.
It is pretty common of course to see planes over tracks. Derby Day alone has dozens advertising to Derby crowds and you cant even hear them, but Woodbine does take the cake. That is freaking loud. If you have not gone there before it is difficult to even fathom. For some reason at Woodbine, the horses are fine, which is curious.

maybe its more annoying if there is hardly anyone at the track, and no exciting races. If the track is silent, the plane would seem louder. I guess I could see that.
I've been on big days with planes circling nonstop, not something you even think about.

Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.
Ta Da -- and, he did! Excellent.
Betcha the owner of the plane or the service takes a flutter.
