Default NYRA Purse Incentive for Routes Races at Spa

NYRA has come up with a very interesting incentive for races of 9 furlongs or more. For every betting interest over 6 on dirt and 8 on turf NYRA is hiking the purse by 5k each for maiden special wts., 8k each for nw of 1,2 or 3 and 10k for money allowances and overnight stakes. Could possibly be looking at allowance races for over $100,000! Say what you will about NYRA, but this is a terrific idea IMO.

Lucky for you! (Seeing as how you're a prominant NY breeder with 2 college tuitions to pay from 2026-2029. Should only be $400,000 each by then... )

Hope you find a 12 horse NYB maiden race going two turns. Winning that would be like winning a stake. Get all your horses out of Ky now!
