Enjoyed this article as always...in terms of a suggestion for the future - what if a mid-sized track that gets the majority of their purse money from slots reduced takeout significantly (maybe something like 6% WPS, 10% DD, EX, 14% Tri, P3, 17% for more legs/horses) with a subsidy from an industry organization (or smaller contributions from large tracks/racing associations like NYRA, CDI, etc.) as a test of what takeout reductions might mean. Would have to publicize this a lot so players know about it. Canterbury tried this several years ago, but it might work better with a daytime track.
