 I'm not for egregious takeout increases but there are two valid reasons for this instance:
1.) The new levels are still extremely competitive with the nationwide average.
2.) The increased takeout will enable them to increase purses and make a last ditch effort to revitalize CA racing, which is headed down a dark and lonely path.
Contrary to what HANA may lead you to believe, takeout decreases are not the panacea of racing.
