Yeh, but according to our colleagues here, nothing is better than nothing  ....I think we have some worse news for them as the purse money amounts in 2026 purse listed here now in 2025 is not in 2025 dollars, might actually spend a tad less than today

They probably cut the purse of some other stake races or eliminated them entirely to boost up the purse.

Assuming all nominations and stakes payments are the same, the purse of the Cane Pace will go from $227,000 to $300,000 while the Del Miller Memorial will jump from $283,000 to $338,000.

This is simple math. With the Friday and Saturday cards running such cheap races, they are giving out minimal money. 68 TM is a class so low that most tracks that use the TM system don't even list it. The Big M will have multiple divisions. The money he is saving from their normal overnights is now given to this race. If the overnights continue as is, you will see more bumps. The purse money is for the horsemen's purses only. It can't be used any other way
