That's wagers placed AT Arlington on out of state races (NYCOTB does the same thing, yes) but this is wagers from out of state placed on Churchill Downs or Keeneland. Wouldn't you as an Illinois resident think twice about betting on CD or Keeneland with this surcharge (which now will be 4% factoring in the additional Arlington take?)
