Everything related to takeout has to do with the "great takeout debate". Clearly this particular move is more related to damage control. But, they are displaying a sensitivity to the effect from a raise in takeout. As horseplayers we need to cause that sensitivity to expand. In the case of New York there has to be a negative result from the 1% across-the-board increase that went into effect last September. I will do my part by not playing New York races...admittedly, they will get some handle from me during Alabama week but that is all; and, only because I will be at the track that week. When I don't play NY tracks, NY loses. I don't. Same for the dodos in Calif.
