It's one of the true shames of the game, that tracks charge patrons who are there to gamble with a huge house take-out.

That is true, but if I remember correctly, doesn't Keeneland take out less than other tracks? I couldn't find the takeout %'s on their website, and DRF is blocked here at work.

I do like the $10 pass for the meet. Not a bad deal.

KEE runs 16% WPS and 19% all exotics. Just about the best in the nation.

That's a good deal. Admission for the public is $2, and many do go at least 2-3 times per week (it's perfectly acceptable around here to not be available of an afternoon during the Kee meet

I would do Bluegrass Week....Wednesday thru Saturday is an amazing week of racing. Its hard to beat a G2 on a Wednesday and a G1 on a Thursday along with the great races that are going to take place Friday and Saturday.

They upped general admision this year to $5. So it actually is a better deal than if offered in year's past.

It's a good thing. Their takeout info for Keeneland is incorrect.

It is usually pretty busy during the meet. One of the neat things about Kee. Really everything is great at Kee except the POLY. Love the TRAKUS & HI-DEF.

Hi-Def is pretty awesome, and they have it on EVERY TV on track, really cool

While this is not a bad deal it certainly does not understand the modern web 2.0 concept.

All general admission should be free, parking free, programs with PP's free. Tracks should provide easy access to wagering through smart phones with no fees.

Trust me, I know that feeling. I can't even get them to budge with the whole "education" thing to allow access to DRF. Oh well. 287 days left until graduation...

ten bucks is a deal. Arlington is $6 bucks a day and even 'private for sale' season passes are worth $60-$80.

$80 for the year now, but they have now started hoarding programs as you have to get vouchers to get free programs, really comedy.
