Go look at the first race and tell me if those horses should be running for 40k. As a bettor I am for competitive racing and purses going to horses that fill competitive races. Congratulations on labeling me some type of elitist/pro-rich horseplayer, but yes, I'd rather see the Decathlon and Elkwood for 250k and the Jersey bred races for half of what they are.

Why not? Would you prefer they run for $20k just like they always have, so the owner can win a race and still lose money on the year?
What type of fields would the Decathlon and Elkwood get for $250K? Answer: the same ones.
