That doesn't mean the quality is awful. 10 claimers at Finger Lakes may be bettable, it doesn't make it good racing. And the takeout is an absurd 18.5% there. No go.

I believe other than the 1% bump in NY, this is up to date.

randall...Laurel Pick Four takeout rate is guess???






14%

Lowest in the industry, which is why they payout so well even when chalks win

I stand corrected but I'm not a crack head.
17% is too high anyway for the dreadful level of racing...I know you are a Chi homer but you need to be unbiased. It is what it is.

I guess I am biased too, but I would hardly classify the Arlington meet as "dreadful." If it is dreadful, then what adjective would you use to describe the dozens of meets which are vastly inferior to Arlington?
Most of the Saturdays are quality, and then you have Preview Day, the Washington Park Handicap, Arlington-Washington Breeders’ Cup Lassie & the Arlington-Washington Breeders’ Cup Futurity, the Prarie State Festival, and of course the big races on Million Day.
Is it Saratoga or Del Mar....no.
Is it "dreadful"....no.

You can't be serious because saying its dreadful is completely off base. I have never heard Chicago racing referred to as dreadful. It isn't, and I feel that I am unbiased in this regard. I can understand if you were just trying to get a reaction from certain Chicago people.
