There are quite a few $100K stakes races this year and even a $400K stakes race for fillies and mares.

It is about 90 minutes south of Buffalo, NY.

There are quite a few horseman and owners working on getting their PA license right now.

Like all racing, it is about the money. Big purses get good horses.
