Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., announced on Sunday that overnight purses will be raised 10-15 percent beginning in June.
“We were very conservative with our purse structure beginning in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Gulfstream’s vice president of Racing, Mike Lakow.
“Without our casino operating and with no on-track attendance and handle we had to make adjustments with the purse account,” Lakow added. “The horsemen have been incredibly understanding and have worked with us throughout this process. We want to thank them for their support and we’re pleased to provide this increase.”
Gulfstream’s holiday weekend of racing continues Monday with a 12-race program beginning at 12:45 p.m.
