2011 Arlington sched trims, moves stakes

They are also trying to change from Thursday-Sunday schedule in May and June to race Wednesday instead of Thursday.

At least they didn't cut purses, although the racing office will probably be forced to use all possible nickel claimers.

I wonder if the 500k is less than last years scheduled stakes money or actual purses paid? Remember they cut 750k in stkes last year early in the meet because things were going so bad.

That would be a smart move. Thursday is a bad handle day. Why not try Friday through Monday?

Thursday was our best day last summer believe it or not... actually, on our Thur-Sun schedule, the week got progressively worse.
