Buried at the end of this story is this:
"In addition to the purse increase, Porter and trainer Larry Jones found out that the weight assignment for the New Orleans Ladies would be more advantageous than they were orginally told."


I have no problem with tracks upping purses or using that type of incentive to attract big names but moving the date of the race or changing weight assignments seem like stretching the bounds of integrity.
How many horses can get a track to do this stuff? I hope you have one some day and I hope you learn that when you have a star its ok to get star treatment. Are you really offended that Porter got what he wanted and so did FG? BTW the other horses in the race that couldn't win will now have an extra 20k to whack up. Maybe the balance of the owners should "Just say thank you"
