From minutes from meeting between Ellis Park and HBPA

"PURSE ACCOUNT UPDATE-The Horsemen’s Committee requested a purse account update. Greg Hardt explained that they have been finding it difficult getting the information from Churchill Downs who is responsible for their reconciliations. Ron Geary explained that he expects that the problem will be resolved by the next meeting on Friday of next week. Mike Bruder emphasized the importance of getting weekly updates, in order that the purses account can be monitored. He felt that if it is warranted, the KHBPA would like to consider a purse raise in recognition of the horsemen’s strong support of Ellis Park by entering their horses. Ron Geary expressed the view that they shared the same feelings and would also like to recognize the efforts of Dan Bork and his racing office staff. In addition, Ron Geary reviewed the betting at the various ADW companies and explained the strong support Ellis Park is receiving from the betting patrons. He did express his disappointment with Tracknet, who has steadfastly refused to show the Ellis Park signal on HRTV on a regular basis, even though it is preferred by bettors over other racetrack’s simulcast signals getting full coverage.
