like i said, it will be interesting to revisit this thread after the meet. im sure you still wont care then either, after being proven wrong. again.
I dont care how much money monmouth gives out a day. It is really immaterial. But I wonder how you can determine exactly how much money they are going to give out? I understand that it will actually be very hard to give that kind of money away because the higher purse level races simply wont all go as I explained in other posts. They will have needed to average around 83k a race in purses. If you take into account the $1500 a starter they are giving away the 83k a race is actually lower but i am not privy to how much was alloted to that program. In many of the cheaper races they are giving away far more than the listed purse. In the 2nd race today for example they actually paid out 46500 on a race with a 40k purse. What they scheduled and what actually happens are seperate things. Surely they wanted to have a bit of a cushion and not overpay since it would be a political disaster to do that. Saying that they never intended to do it is making assertions based on your opinion without knowing all the factors involved.
