Turfway book is out. As promised, purses fell. MSW is $32K down from $46K last year.
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....

Well, I'm thinking it's better than a few years back. But given that CDI is making money in the betting business, once again the funds for purses seem to be drying up. And Arlington? And GPW? Is there a trend?
Run the race - the one that's really worth winning.

Thoughts are that Arlington will not reopen. I ran into some folks at Belterra this past meet that I had met before at Indiana who shipped in there to run... they said that Arlington was closing for good. Not only are the Turfway purses down but they have halted construction on the grandstand, hotel, etc.
