If the Laurel meet is sucessful maybe Magna will make the change @ all their tracks,hopefully.
Of course most players like to bet tracks where the better quality horses are,IMO

If Ellis is not successful, I don't think Laurel will be successful. The impact of an 11% takeout, while important, is not nearly as dramatic as a 4% takeout. If horseplayers are not flocking to Ellis's 4% pick-4, they are hardly going to notice Laurel.
Horseplayers who are genuinly interested in the future of the sport from a betting perspective should be playing the Ellis 4% even if they have no interest in that track or those particular horses.
Every $100 you bet at Ellis is a $4 investment in future lower takeout. That's all it will cost you in the long run, even if you throw darts at the PP's.
