Postby bdw0617 » Tue May 24, 2011 9:00 am

horseman wanted to go up to 125 days for this year, suffolk downs wanted 50.

they settled at 80

and not 3 days into the live meet they can't fill their card

A few of the top trainers seem to have smaller strings than last year, and some other trainers were still running in Florida and the mid-atlantic when the Suffolk Downs meet started. I think they will have full cards moving forward. Daily purses are higher this year, the concession the horsemen got for cutting back to 80 days.
