Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 7, 2018 Journalists Share Posted September 7, 2018 For the third time during the current meeting, officials at Harrah’s Louisiana Downs have announced a purse increase. Beginning Saturday, Sept. 8, an additional $2,000 will be added to all races published in the condition book. “Harrah’s Louisiana Downs is pleased to announce a purse increase for the remainder of the 2018 Thoroughbred meet,” said David Heitzmann, Harrah’s Louisiana Downs Directory of Racing. “Our Louisiana horsemen have been extremely loyal and steadfast in their support of our live racing season. We are glad to be able to reward them and create added opportunities for Louisiana racing.” A first purse hike took effect June 13, when all overnight races with purses up to and including $12,500 were increased by $1,500 and all other races by $1,000. On July 19, purses for the six state-bred stakes races on Louisiana Cup Day were increased by $10,000. That announcement was made in conjunction with the Louisiana Thoroughbred Breeders Association.
