By the way Phil - I just looked.

Here was Turfway Park's takeout than: 16% on WPS and 19% on all exotics.

Here is Turfway Park's Takeout now: 17.5% on WPS and 22% on all exotics.


So - at some point over the last 15 years - Turfway decided to raise its WPS takeout by 1.5% and it's exotic takeout by 3%.

Nice move, dipsh!ts. Tampa Bay Downs does double your handle now.

So they were in line with CD and Keeneland previously? Considering KEE owns a good portion of TP I wonder why they changed it.

Yes. According to old DRF Charts.

The MSW purse for the vast majority of the Tampa is not 25k. It is closer to 17k with 2k FL bred money added.


In 05 the nw1x was 14500 and the nw2x was 15700 for FL breds

In 08 the nw1x was 20200 for FL breds

In 11 the nw1x was 21200 for FL breds

subtract 2-3k from the FL bred purses for the actual purse
