Sounds almost like a personal boycott. Or, maybe you are an owner that would like to race there.

From a bettor / handicapper point of view, do the purses really matter as long as the field is large and competitive? If there was one race that had 11 horses ran for a purse of 22k or another race with 7 horses and a 45k purse, I know which one I am betting.
