Makes them compete for the purses instead of waiting for shorter fields. And creates a standard of competition. If they want the free money, make them earn it, instead of just giving it to them. Do you think that the people running there now are there because of the weather? Or are they there because of the lack of competition and the high purses? If Aqueduct was shut down now, the people that stayed would either be at Laurel, or Tampa because the competition at Gulfstream and Oaklawn is to much for them.
