28% of tickets to both. It's easy to see why the Horsemen's officers wear shiny suits and drive around in fancy cars. It's easy to see why they want to be elected every year. Back years ago a trainer would only do that job for a few years. He had to be talked into it. It was a pain in the ass. Now, it must be a moneymaker.

That is insane! I never knew that and I live in PA and am embarassed that we have the worst takeout in the country on exotic wagers. And if what you are saying is true, it's not even for state revenue.
