This is isn't the racing secretary's fault. Obviously he has very little purse money to distribute.

Great point Andy.. They said before the meet in fact that there was the $1MM purse shortfall from last year they needed to work through and were hopeful that once that was over they would be able to get purses back up over $300,000/day. Recall Hettel saying March was a target.
