Harness Racing Takeout

Those of you that have been following harness racing online might have noticed there has been a bit of a kerfuffle over the high takeout rates in Ontario.

With that in mind I decided it was my responsibility to add some value to the conversation. So the below harness racing track take out table is the result of a stolen table (thanks Kimberly!) and a quick email to the Harnesslink programmer to magically make the table sortable. Click titles at the top of the column to sort the data:
