Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 9, 2020 Journalists Share Posted August 9, 2020 Ellis Park is increasing its base purses by 20% starting with Friday’s races, the track announced Sunday. The increase boosts the purses of all overnight races, which are claiming, maiden and allowance races. It comes on top of a $6,000 per-race increase in Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund (KTDF) purse supplements announced last week for non-claiming maiden and allowance races. With the hike for the remaining three weeks of the RUNHAPPY Summer Meet at Ellis Park, maiden special weight (non-claiming) races will have a purse totaling $46,200 for Kentucky-bred horses and $47,300 for entry-level allowance races. Open $5,000 claimers, which are not eligible to run for KTDF supplements, will compete for $12,600 in money paid out to the horses’ owners.
