I mean subsidy. No, I mean incentive. No, it's money! LOL.

Not that a harness track could afford this, and CA is an island unto itself, but the concept is just. Imagine a few local tracks competing with incentives for trainers and horses. More devisiveness.

BTW, this is in addition to the Ship and Win program for OUT OF STATE trainers and horses.

Desperate to attract and retain a horse population. This is happening everywhere.

[Grandstand Handicapper]

Absolutely. Nature of the beast.

NYRA giving $1000 to owners and $500 to trainers for all horses finishing 4th or worse in overnight races during the week of the Belmont. $1500 and $750 for stakes races.

One of my trotters was getting a 25% bonus in meadowlands races that were NJOS, and another was getting a 30% bonus for being a Maryland bred at Rosecroft.
