I played opening night and Oaks/Derby days. Other than that, my handle that would usually go there is going to Monmouth b/c of the takeout gap.

Not only does the takeout suck, but the field sizes are a joke.

Oaks / Derby only - other than those two days the racing is pathetic. To take that kind of a takeout hit with 6 horse fields you would litterlally need your head examined.

Must admit, I haven't paid much attention to this issue, but since all the discussion about it here, I looked it up and here is a chart I found. My apologies, if someone already put this up, at some other time.

I thought the jump in takeout from exactas to tris and other multi horse wagers was interesting. About 3 to 6 percentage points, if I am reading that right, just about everywhere.

We now know Churchill downs isn't in the horse racing or hospitality business anymore.
