I am certainly not blaming only horsemen. There is no other industry that cares less about the customers than horse racing in the US. If you guys don't get that, I think you are blind. Instead of trying to do things to increase handle, the parties are fighting over the current amount and are going to see it shrink.
I love how Calder just raised takeout again.

Great strategy. Almost as good as not letting willing customers buy your product.
Why are they in this spot? Their own stupid short-sightedness when simulcasting began. Cry me a river.
