Frustrating topic.

Keeneland reduces W/P/S and exacta takeouts only. The other pools stay at the higher rates except the 15% p5 which has been consistent throughout I believe. The P/S pools are largely ignored by people reading this board if I had to guess. The exacta takeout is still more than it was in Spring of last year. And the Win takeout returns to where it was last Spring.

So, really, what have they given me?

I'll admit the so-called boycott where wagering was down for Kee obviously contributed to this change. But the heavy hitters boycotted to accomplish change and they are likely playing most of their money in pools that remain mostly unaffected save the exacta pool which again is still higher than in the Spring of 2017. So the wine and cheese crowd playing their $2 across the board tickets can Thank the exotic heavy hitters for pushing the pricing back to the last spring's rate on their w/p/s plays. Most in the Kee grandstand crowd probably didn't even know this past fall that their 5-2 shot paying $7.80 could potentially have been 3-1 under previous pricing.
