Default FG cuts Oaks, Muniz, and NO Hcp purses

Those three are now down to $300k. La Derby stays the same. But don't worry, the Labred stakes look safe.

You can blame the economy and all the races taken off the turf, but the Saints Super Bowl run also played a role. When the region is so focused on the Saints, and folks are buying playoff tickets and Drew Brees jerseys, not many discretionary dollars are going to find their way to the track or the OTB network.
