The brilliance of California. Epic fail....Starve the beast people. Every bet you make or do not make is a vote.

This is the most telling sentence

Zetcher acknowledged that some bettors will be upset by the higher takeout, “I understand what the other side’s position might be,” he said.

The "other side"?

aka, customers.

It's horseracing, logic is not one of their strengths.

What's the problem? With S Cal tracks going back to dirt, all the POLY losers will become DIRT winners, AGAIN.

Surely they can withstand a couple of percentage points increase.

It's all good in DIRTland.

Repeat after me: 'The real problem in racing is POLY'.
