Coming on the heels of a
December purse increase, Watch and Wager LLC at Cal Expo and the California
Harness Horseman’s Association have announced another 10% across the board
purse increase beginning with the Friday, March 25 program.
“Our stronger than expected
per-race handle has our purse pool in a good position this season,” said CHHA
President David Neumeister. “This, combined with our recent worker’s
compensation regulatory decision, puts the industry in a good position going
forward.”
This week will find Friday
and Saturday night programs at Cal Expo, with no live racing on Easter Sunday.
Racing will return to the regular Saturday/Sunday schedule next week and the
meet continues through May 8.
