I have been boycotting them for years.
At least 5.
That's $10 they will never make up!

The Boycott is still very much on.

You have alternatives, including in-state Kentucky Downs. They have bigger fields and are 2nd in the HANA Rankings.

and
Link to a mention (and a tale of two tracks moving in two entirely different directions) on the HANA Blog:
http://blog.horseplayersassociation....yers-seak.html
Quote:
Kentucky Downs - the lowest takeout track in North America, with large deep fields, and the highest handle growth track in racing - opens tomorrow afternoon.
We encourage all players - as we have since 2011 - to give this track a good long look.
The Horseplayer Monthly has Kentucky Downs handicapping thoughts from people like Mike Maloney, and the issue itself has a turf handicapping theme.
Also, a player alert that a track going the other way in terms of horseplayer and customer friendliness - Churchill Downs - opens tomorrow. HANA, and its members, are in a full boycott of all Churchill Downs properties, ADW's and data providers. This is continuing for the fall meets.
For more information about Churchill Downs, their increase in takeout, the massive handle losses that occurred in the spring meet with your boycott, their executive compensation and horsemen complaints, please visit playersboycott.org here .

Funny stuff Tom!
I will not play Churchill until they amend the takeout to an equitable level, although I will make exception on Derby Day.

If you have to ask do you really have a reason to boycott?

Wondered if this is still going this year? My ADW doesn't have them, so I guess I'm in!
