I don't understand why you guys dont understand that giving away $50 million over 50 days doesn't mean that they will actually give away a million a day?

On Saturday for example they have 2 stakes worth $1000000 alone. Obviously they have 10 other races to fill that day. If you take the 50 for 50 literally then how do you propose that they stay within the $50 million dollar parameter? Most tracks that give away high average purse amounts have that average bouyed by a large stakes schedule. In virtually all horseman/racetrack contracts there exists a certain % that the overnight purses and stakes purses has to meet.

As for the idea that there is "false advertising" LOL! Seriously? Show me where it says that there will be exactly $1 million dollars given away everyday. Does anyone really think that Saratoga gives away $729,000 on its glorious Monday cards?
