I was just thinking about a comment Kasept made several months back about how the Preakness was only a million dollar race. If the Kent Breeders Cup, a G3 event, could muster up a $500k purse, why can't Maryland Racing do the same? Oh, that's right...they don't have slot money to augment state purses.

The Belmont and Travers are also "only" million dollar races, which as you state in perspective of the Kent BC being a $500k race is relatively low...

The PA Derby has the same purse as the Travers, Belmont, and Preakness. That is all you need to know about slots. NY and MD don't have them for their thoroughbreds and it shows.
