Thanks, Steve, but I think that link takes you to an earlier year's data. It shows Churchill as 16% for WPS. It's 17.5%, right? Your link did lead me to this 2017 table:

Before posting this question yesterday, I spent a fair amount of time googling Churchill's takeout, with no success. When I tried googling "Gulfstream track takeout", the first 3 hits are restaurants. That, at least, was funny.

I think 2017 is the latest one they have done.

Check out the late pick 5 take out @ Santa Anita(25%) compared to the highly touted and greatly appreciated take out on the early pick 5(15%).
I have spoken to a lot of "Grinders" and grizzled horseplayers that where not aware of the higher take out on the late pick 5

I know guys who only play the early one for that reason.
