Gulfstream Park Racing & Casino announced March 23 it will raise Florida owners awards 20% beginning March 26.
The increase in Florida Owners Awards comes three weeks after Gulfstream raised purses 10% and after it started the 2011 meet with a 15% increase in purses over last season.
“We’re glad to have had the opportunity to not only raise purses earlier this month but to now raise Florida Owners Awards,” said Timothy Ritvo, vice president of racing at Gulfstream, in a release. “Our increases continue to be due to a number of factors, from our quality racing, innovative new wagers, customer service and our Saturday breakfast and backstretch tour program.”
