So I was thinking that instead of wasting money creating these stupid new BC races, they could put that money to better use. I was thinking that they could add $50k to the purse of each race that attracts a previous grade one winner to the field. For each horse, they could add $50k. For example, if the Whitney draws three horses that are grade one winners, there would be $150k added to the purse. I was thinking lesser amounts for grade two winners ($25k) and grade three winners ($10k). The money that is added to the purse could be distrubuted in the same manner as the rest of the purse or to make it more interesting, it could be winner take all. Is this something that could possibly be done? If it could be, do u think it would work?
King, I have to admit, but Polytrack might have alot to do with it. You should see the fields at Arlington, it is pretty amazing the turnaround that they have. The pools have really grown also.

how about adding 500k to any race that draws a sales topper from any sale?

2 sales toppers would be 1mil extra, and so on.
