So PolitiFact would rate my claim at least "Half True," if not "Mostly True."

Your claim is they cut purses for maiden and allowance races and there are sub-10K claimers. The first part is 100% a lie (purses were actually raised substantially) and the second part was done for a reason (and now suddenly you're worried about them competing with Parx and THAT'S the negative).
So how in your mind is what you wrote "mostly true"? It's maybe 10% true and 100% irrelevant and misleading.
