Oscar’s Hope gets solid 8️⃣2️⃣ Beyer for Jean Lafitte win. For comparison, Coal Battle had 7️⃣6️⃣ for his 2024 Jean Lafitte win before 3 straight stakes wins to run in KY Derby! Congratulations to @TomAmossRacing & connections. @horsemandon
Oscar’s Hope gave trainer Tom Amoss and jockey Vicente Del-Cid a sweep of the week’s stakes at Delta Downs on Wednesday afternoon, when he darted to a 2 3/4-length win in the $100,000 Jean Lafitte. Video replay, written recap:

Congratulations to Mike McLoughlin and all connections of Oscar’s Hope for today’s win in the Jean Lafitte Stakes!
#2 OSCAR'S HOPE ($2.60) was much the best going gate-to-wire to win the $100,000 Jean Lafitte Stakes at Delta Downs. The son of Twirling Candy (@LanesEndFarms) was ridden by Vincente Del-Cid and is trained by @TomAmossRacing.

How important is a lower takeout rate to the future success of horseracing?

Does a lower takeout, say 10%, entice you to place a track you don't normally play?

Delta handle up 38% yr over yr yesterday even with the largest ADW deciding not to take their signal when they offer 10% takeout on all wagers. If you can’t bet on Delta then make sure to open up an account at an ADW that does take it. More tracks might lower takeout if you do.
It’s another 10% takeout day at Delta Downs! Post time 12:55pm CT. Join us in person or play on your favorite ADW. If they don’t take DD today, call them up and DEMAND IT!!! Horseplayers deserve a break. Good luck and Hapoy Thanksgiving! @MarthaClaussen @DRFRampellini

.@stoolpresidente rightfully complains about CAWs but he also promotes DK Horse … @dkhorse is powered by @TwinSpires , and as a result is also not offering @DeltaDowns retail friendly low rake wagering today … these ADWs prioritize CAW play … tough scene Prez

Delta Downs' handle was up 38% on Tuesday over last year, same day, with the ultra low 10% takeout. Imagine what it will be today with more exposure. Last year on this day we did over $1.7 million. Lots of opportunities and big pools! Just what the horseplayer's doctor ordered!
