It is fairly obvious which race will be declared a "no takeout' race, so, if you are a punter who likes to back long odds on favourites, take the punt, and if your selection wins, you will receive that '10 cent bonus' in your dividend.
BTW, I do not expect you will survive on the punt to take advantage of the '10 cent bonus' one or two years down the track if you keep backing long odds on favourites.
For the record, it is not always the long odds on favs although usually.
Personally I rarely bet favourites at all and maybe twice a year horses slightly in the red that I rate much shorter.
My point is there is seemingly 1 person who has the power to choose at his/her will when they will remove the takeout on any race they choose without having to tell anyone
It is open to corruption.
