Same with Penn and Charles Town....before Penn National bought Charles Town and slots were voted in, they were running for $2000 purses, now you seldom see a race under $10,000. Same story at Penn...the lowest purse there now is about $96-9800...big improvement for trainers and owners. Horse quality has improved slightly but still shippers improve 10-20 lengths as a rule.
