The question is whether they can entice more people to stay in NY, because of the purses, with horses in general and thus have bigger fields ( which obviously stimulates betting and thus increases purses more down the road ). Frankly, I have no idea why people race cheaper horses in Florida during the winter.

I think if the Gotham was more relevant in the graded stakes earnings picture you would see better quality horses show up. You might not get the cream of the crop but they should still be able to get some better ones up there by March.
