If the track take at CD was still 16%, All Others' odds would have been 0.7-1 instead of 0.6-1. So even if those bettors are lucky enough to win, they'll collect about 14% less than they would have with the old track take.
Odds on the individual horses are 2% less than they would have been with a 16% track take.
