Ian Meyers @ihmeyers KEE exec "I hope the public understands that this is going to purses... not going into our pockets" Bullshit. Your host fee went up too
Since when is higher purses an excuse to rape the bettor? Stop paying such stupid prices for unraced horses, then you wont need $100,000 maiden races.
This is the same bogus argument ripoff shopkeepers use to overcharge. They blame the rent. Who tells them to pay the sick rent?
Basically, some folks are getting very rich off the bettors backs.
