On Saturday for example they have 2 stakes worth $1000000 alone. Obviously they have 10 other races to fill that day. If you take the 50 for 50 literally then how do you propose that they stay within the $50 million dollar parameter? Most tracks that give away high average purse amounts have that average bouyed by a large stakes schedule. In virtually all horseman/racetrack contracts there exists a certain % that the overnight purses and stakes purses has to meet.

As for the idea that there is "false advertising" LOL! Seriously? Show me where it says that there will be exactly $1 million dollars given away everyday. Does anyone really think that Saratoga gives away $729,000 on its glorious Monday cards?

i dont think anyone was taking it literally. the meet was advertised as a million a day meet. it isnt. i was being sarcastic with the false advertising comment, but when you advertise a million a day meet and have days like today, then what would you call it? the facts are they havent hit 1 million a day yet. aside from 2 or 3 days where they have million dollar stakes, they wont hit a million a day ever.

you mentioned two stakes on saturday worth 1 million each. that isnt true.
