Ellis Park - FYI...

Wow 4% takeout I really hope they get big pools. We need more promotions like this at all tracks.

I for one will play it just because of the takeout. It will be interesting to see how significant the overlay on the pick 4 versuses the parlays will be. I know that at Sam Houston with there 12% take on pick threes the difference is very noticable.

I don't think RD will effect Ellis much (they've been in competition for years), but the Poly at AP seems to be a hit w/horseman and many KY barns are running there.

Ellis is no longer owned by CDI; I wonder why there's a dispute w/YouBet and TVG?

Ellis' simulcast signal is distributed by CDSN so thats why there is a dispute....I will be playing the Pick 4 tomorrow at Ellis....I really hope it catches on and other tracks follow Ellis' lead.

The only other pick 4 that has a low takeout is Laurel,and I think their's is 12 percent,so 4 % is a deal.

And it's racing will be better than California's.

Heh good luck with the Pick 4's. Might be a 3k pool avg.

Bridges, smidges ... fans will get there. It won't be the greatest race cards, but I love the atmosphere. A hot day, some cold beer, meeting up with a few buds, and playing Saratoga when it opens later this month. Beats the hell out of a dreary OTB.

Anybody else gonna be there opening day?

I read about the 4% takeout on the late pick-4 earlier today. I will learn to handicap Ellis if it is the last thing I do, upon hearing that news.
