It's a double edged sword. The purses were raised a lot 2019-2020 meets, and then abated this past year. More money means better horses hanging around, so it's really tough racing there for the smaller outfits.The handle rose likely due to lack of other venues combined with much better horses and bigger purses driving more competitive wagering and better payoffs.
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....
