I think if horseman really want to see what you say happen...they ought not be there to oppose takeout reductions...in fact, they should lobby for them.

From an economical standpoint---I think takeout reductions will help everyone.
I agree with you on these points and you have to understand that much of the time the horsemans organizations are run not by the will of the horsemen but by the decree of those elected. I'm sure that a large majority of NY horsemen are hoping NYRA wins the NY deal despite the backing of Empire by their leaders. Plus a lot of horsemen are really dumb.
