From what I heard from a good source Scioto's purse fund is way down from last year. I don't expect any increases for this meet.

Are there that many Ohio/bred horses to fill all these races?

Since Scioto is closer to Northfield than MVR, will a few stragglers go race there instead of Scioto for easier competition and less $$$?
