It's, at best, a poor oversimplification....and at worst a gross misrepresentation.

The tracks set these rates.

What's funny is that when there are impasses when tracks fight for higher fees, message boards get filled with people screaming about the piggish nature of racetracks, yet here they are apparently being " ripped off. " Both arguments can't be true.

It's a complicated discussion.
