Here is a link in which it talks about possible purse hikes this year at GP and by the way I am not going to talk to any owners or trainers about purse increases I will let the FHBPA do that being there the ones talking about the increases.

I'll believe it when I see it. I've been going to Gulfstream for years and I've never been so put off by a racing facility in my life. They have succeeded in running a successful and beautiful facility into the ground and claiming that the new facility is the answer to racings future. Core audience has been put off by it all and instead trek to Tampa Bay for a fun day of racing for a winter holiday. Andy Beyers take on it was " who did they build this for ? " It's all been a mess and I am saddened by it. It will be nice when they build the grandstand for folks to sit down out of the sun and be able to watch live horses run, instead of on simulcast screens. It's pretty sad to hear horses galloping by and no cheering from the stands. If you want to get an accurate gauge , then go the the Sun Sentinal and read columns by Dave Joseph.
