Thanks, Randall. I should have known that! Seems to me that the rise to 15% didn't get as much play as when they dropped it to 14%. Heck, this time last year they had proposed dropping the take to 13%.
Here's a link to track takes at most tracks. I should have checked this (again) before posting:

Well, we can only ASSUME that the payout was correct. In fact, if you calculate the place payoff on Bluegrass Cat using a 15% track take, you come up with $2.39, which would be rounded down to $2.30. So the bettors got a real bargain when they collected $2.50 because of the new "Net-Pool" policy.
