It's not just 50 days in the summer, and the $50MM number includes the stakes AND overnight programs...There's also a 21 day Sept-Nov meet that will run for $250-$300k/day ($5.5MM), and the stakes program is worth about $5MM. So take $10-$11MM off the $50MM total and you are actually around $775-$800k a day for the summer meet. And even that number is not purse money exclusively.

And I'm being told that the Star-Ledger was very premature releasing this. There are many i's to dot and t's to cross yet...

800k a day ain't to shabby..Quarter Claimers will go for 50k THAT WORKS and there will be 12 in the box with 3 on the AE list.. Guys will be racing 50 claimers in 25's in a heart beat. You want to see great MDN SPL besides the SPA card? Watch what happens when the purse is 78k vs. NYRA's 48.. Can I get a Carolina franchise?
