purse inflation

[Capper Al]

Does anyone publish average purse value increases from year to year?

Thanks

JUST a guess, but how about the Jockey Club website?

i was just looking at a winner's circle picture of one of my old horses from back in 1995. the horse ran New York Bred MSW, purse $29,000 in Aqueduct.


back then i was paying $35 for day money. today the same purse is $50,000 in Aqueduct, and the day money is out of sight and out of mind and over $100 a day. the vets are way up as well.

You should inquire with DRF. I've seen it in their Form. Uncertain if they still or when they publish it. See links I found on Google.

Also, this was on Google. But, I haven't read it completely.
