JOLY
I never advocated a “ boycott “ here

I was merely expressing my frustration as a scorekeeper with the new system
And just that I hope personally I don’t have to play at that track too often

It had nothing to do with this website or the contests

Sorry if the wording was misunderstood or misinterpreted

Ruff, no apology is needed. I didn't read your post as critical of the website or our contests. All is good. I did want to point out that the new penny breakage rule applies to every Kentucky track, and we often visit Kentucky Downs for Kentucky Cup Day as well as Keeneland during its fall meet. I'm sure we will encounter this rule during the Breeders' Cup at Keeneland.

I'm afraid that Real Quiet will have to recalibrate his abacus (I'll be glad to loan him my Curta) to score the ROI with penny breakage for all of those Kentucky race days.

I for one welcome the extra cash in my pocket. I mean I would if I ever hit a winning wager. Decimal and pennies are easy to calculate since I use a 2022 Intel Celeron Abacus running Windows 47. A lot of superfecta winning wagers are paid in pennies anyway.

I could be wrong, but I thought I heard years ago that the breakage from Oaklawn either went to the city or the county. If so, I imagine there would be some loud and long howling, if that was taken away. Glad somebody explained that. I was wondering why the payoffs were so strange.
