AP Million is yesterday's big race

When they began the Million, it was a HUGE purse. It's still a lot of money but it's not that big a deal anymore. It isn't even in the top ten.

When they started the race there was a lot of discussion about putting up that large a purse at the expense of the ordinary racing. It gave them status for awhile but now even the DRF sees it as just another race. Maybe it's time to make AP into a Wallmart. People always need walls.

BTW walls are able to stay up without the benefit of slots.
