Those races started back in 2020 with the same purses. They added the $100,000 FFA trot recently. The purses for the consolations are really good considering you're not facing the top horses.

Government handouts is not "thriving". The purses have stayed the same in the face of inflation which means the races are regressing.

When an industry is dependent on one single funding source that has nothing to do with the industry and has no funding source to fall back on, it is not thriving.

Keep posting your arrogance. I can use it when I write to politicians about the handouts to horse racing.
