Racing! Takeout, taxes and other things that shape the sport

Share

Hello, my name is John Cherwa, and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter where we’re hoping the pick six winner at Santa Anita will invite us all out for drinks.

There’s a revolt brewing and its impact is likely to be, well, it’s difficult to say what the impact will be.

Keeneland, the nice track in Kentucky, just raised the takeout from 16% to 17.50% on win, place and show wagers, and from 19% to 22% on exotic bets, except for the pick five. The Horseplayers Assn. of America (HANA) and playersboycott.org have called for a one-month boycott of betting on Keeneland. This move brings Keeneland’s takeout in line with Churchill Downs and Ellis Park.

By comparison, the takeout at California tracks is 15.43% for single horse betting and 23.68% for exotic wagering, except for daily doubles and the pick five.

“I believe that if a clear message isn't sent, not just Keeneland, but other tracks will have takeout increases too,” said Jeff Platt, HANA president.

“When we boycotted Churchill in 2014 because of their takeout increase, they were down a solid 25% outside of the Derby.

“How much of that was the market speaking and how much came from us drawing attention to the takeout increase is hard to say. But we sent a pretty clear message.

“I expect Keeneland fall 2017 numbers to mirror Churchill 2014 numbers — and be down a similar 25% to 30%.”

Keeneland said it was making the move to increase purses for horsemen.

If you remember, a similar boycott was in play at Santa Anita in 2011 after it raised takeouts. The impact of the boycott varied depending on whose side you were on. It came about the same time that the Stronach Group bought the track and did some restructuring.

What makes the success or failure of this action so difficult to measure is the recent change of IRS rules that redefines when takeout is done at the track.

In short, rather than a single ticket defining what your bet is, it is now the total of your wager. For example, if you won with a $1 ticket but bet $10, you would have to report a win of $300. Now, if you bet $10 total, the new threshold is $3,000. There will be a more lengthy story on this in The Times print edition early next week.

The thinking is that without having taxes taken out at the track or betting facility, more money will be available for the churn, growing the mutuel handle. In other words, it’s the more-water-makes-all-boats-float-higher theory.

What happens at Keeneland will be difficult to measure, but both sides will probably declare victory.

Pick six update

It took three days but Santa Anita finally cashed out its pick six. The Pool was $1,074,915, after growing more than $800,000 in betting on Friday. Thyere were 10 winning tickets, each of which paid $69,851.80. There were 297 consolation tickets with five winners, which paid $312.20. The single ticket jackpot carryover climbed to $203,954.

Santa Anita preview

The field sizes are still good but with three stakes on the 10-race card, the number of runners goes down. There are four turf races — the second, fifth, eighth and 10th. Here are the number of potential starters, in sequential order: 11, 6, 8, 6, 12 (2 also eligible), 6, 10, 8, 12, 12.

The centerpiece of the day is the Grade 1 $300,000 Santa Anita Sprint Championship. It’s the sixth race at about 3 p.m. Morning line oddsmaker Jon White has placed Roy H as the favorite at 8-5, but we’re figuring by post time that Ransom the Moon, at 5-2, will be the favorite. When it comes to betting, however, we don’t really know what we’re talking about.

Roy H gets a new jockey in Hall of Famer Kent Desormeaux. Paco Lopez, who normally rides in New York, was on him the last two races at Belmont and Del Mar. Roy H was beaten by Ransom The Moon in the Bing Crosby on July 29 after going six wide in the stretch. His previous start he won the True North at Belmont with a career high 111 Beyer. Ransom The Moon has won three of his last four, and never finished worse than second in six races. The last four races he has been trained by Phil D’Amato. Flavien Prat will be aboard. Roy H is likely to be in or near the front while Ransom The Moon should stalk. Giant Expectations, for Peter Eurton, and American Anthem, for Bob Baffert, are 3-1 in the six-furlong race.

There are two ungraded stakes on the card. the Obviously Mile for 3-year-olds and up on the turf (you can guess the distance) and the Swingtime Stakes, for 3-and-up fillies and mares, also on the turf going a mile.

Jeff Nahill's Santa Anita spot play

THIRD RACE: No. 1 Antioch (6-1)

This filly wasn't bad last year as a 2-year-old, but obviously suffered an injury. Trainer Richard Mandella doesn't bring them back until they are ready, hence he has a 26% strike rate with horses off a 180-day plus layoff. Regular barn rider Prat keeps the mount and the colt is coming out of a key race that has produced four winners from 10 starters.

Ed Burgart’s Los Alamitos spot play

THIRD RACE: No. 1 Ray Donovan (2-1)

This 2-year-old colt looked spectacular with huge strides in 12.0 gate drill for return; has leading jockey/trainer team.
