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.

Starvinsky all the way, baby!
