As a bettor,
High point: Ellis Park offers a 4% takeout Pick-4 for the duration of it's summer meet. Horseplayers who are used to battling against 15-25% takeout have a chance to play against 1/4th the vig or less. Low point: Horseplayers (mostly) choose to bet into 20-25% takeout pools at other tracks rather than play at Ellis, leaving Ellis and other tracks little incentive to try lowering takeout. As a fan, High point: Seeing Lava Man live at Hollywood Park winning the Gold Cup with an ultra-game run through the stretch. Low point: The Barbaro roller-coaster finale. --Dunbar
