Oh I forget, the purses are subsidized from the profits of the concession stands.

Why would three different tracks on the east coast card three different 3yo graded stakes races on the same day (weekend)???? Thats why you get watered down fields instead of having RA, MTB, Summer Bird, Munnings, Wariors Reward, and Charitable Man in the same race.

The best scores are made on these type of races with an unbeatable favorite. Simply because there is no such animal.
