Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 2, 2022 Journalists Posted March 2, 2022 Oaklawn will offer across-the-board purse increases beginning Mar. 11. Claiming and starter allowance races will receive a $4,000 bump, with maiden special weights and allowances up by $6,000. “The first half of the racing season has gone extremely well, and we could not be happier to be sharing that success with our horsemen,” Oaklawn President Louis Cella said. “We are particularly proud of the quality of the horses we are seeing on a daily basis, and we are very excited for the great racing to close out our season.” The minimum purse is now set at $29,000 with maiden special weights at $90,000 and allowances at $106,000. With the past three weeks having seen an increase in both on and off track wagering, Oaklawn has added an additional day to its schedule on Apr. 7. The live meet will run through May 8.
