Overnight Purses Up Significantly For Autumn Meet
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (November 6, 2011)—The Autumn meet at Hollywood Park, which begins with an eight race program Thursday, Nov. 10, will see an increase of approximately 25% in overnight purses from the 2010 season.
Examples of the boosts include maiden allowance races now offering a $45,000 purse, up from $38,000 a year ago, first level allowance sprints have been upped to $48,000 – a rise of $8,000 from 2010 – and a $32,000 claiming race for fillies and mares at one mile on turf is now $34,000, compared to $26,000 a year ago.
“As far as I can remember, these are the highest overnight purses for the Autumn meet since I’ve been here,’’ said Martin Panza, Hollywood Park’s racing secretary and vice president-racing.
“Claiming was up 30-40% during the Spring/Summer meet and with these purse increases we’re continuing our commitment to make the claiming game as attractive as possible.’’
