The following Letter to the Editor dated NOV 7 was published in the most recent edition of Paulick Report and is reprinted verbatim in its entirety. The conclusion of its author is obvious: The racing deck is stacked against the rank and file horseplayer. As much sense as it makes to eliminate CAW wagering, it won’t happen as long as racing organizations own, in part, anyway, the companies that make this process possible. But as bad as CAW is, the real enemy of the loyal horseplayer are rebates made possible by existing high takeout rates. In the end, rebates will put an end to horse racing as we know it. The only fix is to lower takeout significantly which would result in a universal rebate for all horseplayers.

We need an equal opportunity society, one in which government does not see its job as picking winners and losers. Where do you go if you want special favors? Government. Where do you go if you want a tax break? Government. Where do you go if you want a handout? Government. This must stop.
