I would think that all they really want is lower take-out and full competitive fields, no matter what the levels are.

I think that is asinine, why does NYRA have a higher handle than say Ellis Park where the fields are often similar in size and competitiveness with a lower takeout.

People care about the quality of the horses they bet on, socal still is second in wagering yet I would say is probably lower 1/3rd in competitiveness and amongst the leaders in track takeout.
