Danny Pish eyes Sam Houston Race Park's daily purse increase to $160,000, then calculates that those dollars and fewer dates are, in baseball terms, a home run.
"Bigger money usually means you have full fields," said Pish, consistently a top trainer at SHRP. "You see that at Delta Downs, which is thriving with big fields. I'd expect that with Sam Houston's improved purse structure we'll see lots of horses ship here from Delta.
"It's good to see this hap-pening at Sam Houston. I'm ready to bring my horses in right now and start training."
Cibolo-based Pish added that despite higher dollar appeal he might ship fewer thoroughbreds here.
