It's worth reading the fine print in the race conditions. Of those $1 million+ races, most of them include a large amount (generally around $400,000) from the Kentucky Thoroughbred Development fund, so many of the net purses for non-KY breds is around $600,000. It pays to have a KY bred at KY Downs.
This was manifested in last year's version of the Kentucky Turf Club, which was featured as a $1 million purse. It was won by Red Knight, a New York bred. His share of the purse was $317,130, which is what the winner of a $550,000 race should reasonably expect. Fortunately, the purse of Saturday's feature has been significantly increased.
