“Chase

Manhattan Bank,

which is about to

announce a unique

competition for brush

horses that will offer

$50,000 in prize

money at the end of

the year.”

— William Gallo Jr.

the High Hope meeting at Lexington, Ky.

NSHA Racing Secretary William Gallo Jr. reports from Belmont Park, N. Y., that total purses for the spring meetings will reach $900,000 — up $100,000 from 1985.

“In 1985 a record $1,737,195 was distributed to NSHA horsemen,” Mr. Gallo said. “That figure will surely be topped again in 1986, with $2 million well within reach. And that does not include additional bonus money from our new circuit sponsor, Chase Manhattan Bank, which is about to announce a unique competition for brush horses that will offer $50,000 in prize money at the end of the year.”
