$42 million in handle says this idea is working. I get the purse number is phony and inflated but it's still earned "big race" status, when the Donn was dying on the vine. Bonus points to anyone who knew Mshawish won the "last" edition (I didn't)
Same Saturday in 2016 did $17 million. Donn Saturday (the following week) did $19 million.
In addition, there was definitely a concerted effort to promote it at Santa Anita today- would not be surprised if next year that coordination goes a step farther and they bring a big card there as well.
