Churchill does have a lower takout than NYRA ( I was discussing Magna, which apparantly you realize you can't defend as you have gone off on a tangent which I never claimed ) though the numbers you refer to are for three horse or three horse multi-race bets ( and beyond ).

Churchill is in Kentucky, which in case you are unaware, is a racetrack friendly State. Also, Churchill Downs is only open for three months a year for racing and thus do not have to support purses for twelve months as NYRA does.

Exactly. KY has numerous owners run its tracks. Business people. NYRA runs all three tracks and it isn't even a business. It is typical non-profit government corruption.

Fair statement. But the tracks in Kentucky have a lowes payout on 3 and 4 horse bets. I dont know much Gulfstream as I dont wager that track. I am not a big Frank fan. I honestly think Churchill gets the contract.
