If they run for 65k mdn at saratoga, and they run a 60k mdn at del mar, how is it a purse issue?

If the track was built on 8k to 25k claimers then your right, its a purse issues.

Largely though the mdn, alw, high level claiming, and stake purses are competitive or better then 90% of the track, why would they struggle to fill more than say Turf Paradise?
