Early races had $200K WPS pools, Race 7 had $503K, Race 8 was a stakes but it jumped to $749K and it peaked on the national stakes, $1.3M.

Gulfstream voluntarily announced an across the board 10% hike in Purses for the rest of the meet. Handle is up 9%.

The racing has been excellent. Full fields, great jockey colony. Yesterday a Jimmy Jerkens horse, John Velezaquez riding, pays $24.20. Where else do you ever get Jerkens/Velzquez paying $24.00!.
Stole it with soft fractions like the hall of fame rider he is. Fun to watch.

They are having some issue with the Turf. Last week they had to go OFF Turf late in the day, beautiful 80 degree day, because the turf is beat up badly.

You can see craploads of dirt and dust kicking up on the turns. Its a half turf half dirt race, and disadvantage to horse who prefer a deep soft turf.

All in all. Excellent.
They need to stop racing on the turf course for at least 6 months after this meet.
