Also the big NY owners arent going to care if there Mdn Spl is 56k at Spa and Monmouth's is 81k. They will continue to race their best in SPA anyway.. I do think AP and WB will have their producted dug into.

AP is already screwed this year, they have supposed lost two trainers (Donnie Von Hemel and Steve Hobby) which is about 45-50 horses, and Hector Magana is now running a training farm down in Ocala.

Bring on the Golden Gate type racing, I am all for it.

It can't be good news for AP or WB.. WB's pots are twice AP's so AP now needs to reinvent its place in Summer racing..

Woobine will be fine, 75k maidens and there is even more money being put into the kiddy there. Nowhere in North America will you find that unless you have a PA bred!

But its rubber and some guys will now choose dirt and 75k to commence careers.. I do agree 75k will keep everyone plenty happy. The point is now there is a dirt option at the same price point. Chuck likes the shore every since whaling has been outlawed, he can bring sun screen on and be back for last few..Its onlylike 2 miles from beach if that

With those types of purses, you are going to see some insane claiming races. you will see 50k claimers being run for 15k because there will be a 50k pot attached to it.

While I am sure we would look for spots there, I am guessing we would take the low lying fruit at Philly

How many 15k claimers you think they are looking to wite 2 a month for NJ breds? You are 100% percent right people will be dropping 50k claimers into 25k's like water.. How many real 50k claimers are there in ALL of NA racing anyway that class of animal is gone.
