Not that it matters in the long run but I thought the takeout increase occurs later this year in December.

You're right, the increase goes into effect Dec. 26.

I hope with this new takeout and extra cash that the owners and trainers are getting that they think about taking care of the backstretch workers......they truly are the ones that make a horse.

Are they back on dirt, or is that after the meet?

There's 9 races Thursday night, which means last post is 2:15am eastern.

The opening day card Thursday is very good. 7-10 horses in each of the 9 races including the 8x10x9x10 late P4, and a very nice G3 feature in the Sen. Maddy. Nothing not to like to kick off Oak Tree, sorry... The Goodwood, Norfolk, Oak Leaf, Lady's Secret, Yellow Ribbon, et al over the weekend to boot.

Get with the program folks. Breeders' Cup is in 5 weeks... You have all winter to bitch about lousy racing. (And I'll go out of my way to prove you're wrong about it then too!)

I'm excited. The 2010 classic winner is running there this weekend.

Total handle for 9 races: $3,944,705. Total handle on 9 races opening day at Oak Tree Santa Anita last year was $6,729,164, so this year was a 41% drop from last year, certainly doesn't bode well for California racing. I wonder how much of it was because people (like the OP in this thread) thought the takeout increase was already in effect, and how much of it was that half the card happened after midnight eastern? Either way, I doubt we see a whole lot more Thursday night cards.

No worries. I can get on my high horse and be overly protective at times. Sorry. Might be a little tweaked cuz we're so close to Zenny time too.
