Pick out your preferred seating for Keeneland Cup '15..

[Calzone Lord]

The Breeders' Cup (Saturday) has long been the greatest betting day in all of Horse Racing.

I have no desire at all, to ever see one in person.

It's a day for laptop computers with fast internet-connections, a personal TV, and a comfortable seat. I can get that for free, in multiple places.

Keeneland has very low takeout rates, especially on exotic wagers.

From my perspective, I don't care about crowd size. An almost private social party of 15k industry elite is fine with me. To me, a large crowd serves no purpose, other than to perhaps stir up a few horses.

When I hear "Breeders' Cup at Keeneland" -- I think about the 19% takeout on trifectas, superfectas, pick 3's, pick 4's -- that's not a bad thing.

You'd think the Offshore places that rebate have to be hating this. Some of them offer 8% rebates on all-exotic wagers. No exotic wager at Keeneland has a rake over 19%.
