You certain make a fair point with regards to purses. The question is why in the word would owners jocks and trainers support racing there? I suppose its warm and geographically idea? BTW I doubt a bright student of the game llike Beyer doesnt recognize the crappy purses but he speaks from the gambling side. As long as owners trainers and jocks are willing to compete for popcorn and peanuts what are you going to do?
