Look, if you need to travel, you travel.
If you were at Churchill, instead of going west to Henderson, go east.
If River is too cheap for you, keep on east until you hit Mountaineer.
If it's too cheap there, stop for deisel and head north or east for Presque, Philadelphia or a half dozen other places with better purses than Ellis would have offered anyway.
What else is there to do?

Your contention was that the horseman could simply ship to Chicago or Cincy when those places are running for signifigantly smaller purses, especially River. It will cost around $1500 to ship a horse to Philly or $1000 to go to Mountaineer. It is not without its costs to horseman and owners especially for the cheaper horses. Everything including fuel and hay and straw have increased dramatically in price yet we should be just fine running for less money? I dont understand where you think that this isnt a bad deal for horseman.
