The insanely high takeout at Parx is part of the reason why no one cares about it's racing product and why it handles so poorly despite huge purses and decent racing.
Presque Isle Downs has twice lowered takeout in the last 5 years and they have established very low minimums on all exotic wagers, probably thanks to the badgering local newspaper.
The paper in Philly seems far more harsh. They want significant purse reductions instead of significant takeout reductions.
Has anyone seen the takeout on some of the exotic wagers at Parx?
