Direct your E-mail to Michele Blanco, she's head of marketing.
I sent her my thoughts, even though I don't play the exotics.

Calders out for me. I won't even bet them on their big days. It has to start somewhere and this is the perfect spot.
I'd love for McShell to give us some insights....

Yes genius. If you own a gas station, and have competition up and down your street, offering gas from $3.50 a gallon to $5.00 a gallon. It makes perfect business sense to raise the price of your gas from say.....$24.00 a gallon to $27.00 a gallon; so you'll stop losing money. It makes me want to ...

I agree entirely.
If they want to be like that, I will exercise my prerogative to wager my hard-earned dollars elsewhere.

Calder raises takeouts
To PA member horse players,
Thank you for taking a stand against Calder and sending those emails.  That's the spirit! Let's send a deluge of emails to these Calder executives and tell them what you think of them raising takeouts, and what your betting intentions at Calder will be if they don't rescind those increases in takeout." Even the lurkers at this site, can help out horse player power by sending Calder executives an email too.
~"All that is necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing."

This may be a dumb question, but what good will boycotting Calder do when they aren't sending their signal out in the first place? They're already boycotting us.

I emailed them as well. As to why boycott, do you think the takeout will change once the signal mess gets straightened out? I'll wait and see, but I won't hold my breath.
As for all the comments I edited and deleted, PA can check them, but simply put they don't belong here on a horse racing board in my opinion. They also took a very good thread in a bad direction. If you want to discuss it further, take it to off topic.

CALDER
They have a lot of nerve raising the takeout like they did.
I hope they never get their signal out but if they ever do I won't be betting there until they takeout back down !

cj,
By editing YM's "product of society" post, I think you've unjustifiably imposed your and T2W's personal preferences on the rest of us.
Fortunately I caught that post before you exercised your lack of discretion. IMO it contained the wit and insight that is notably lacking from most of T2W's posts, but you allowed that poster to dictate what others can read and enjoy.
I don't see posts deleted here that many posters would consider far less tasteful and certainly more hostile. As much as I generally respect the content of your posts, when you blow it you sure do it bigtime.
You've got to stop reading those books on how to become a Steward and learn to let the results stand.
