Added money has been lowered to $60,000 due to the fewer number of racing days for this meet and in keeping with the agreement not to have more than 25% of the purse account money go to added money for stakes races.

Future meets should have the added money back to $100,000 for these races because of increasing number of racing days and increased purse levels starting with the 2011/2012 Hialeah Park meet.

This is the first year of a six year agreement with Hialeah Park. The agreement for this year is $100,000 per day for 24 days/ 8 weeks. The following two years will be 30 days/10 weeks and $120,000 per day. The following three years will be 40 days/10 weeks, $140,000 per day. Other tracks are coming on line and we think we should have at least 20 weeks of quality QH racing very soon.

The accredited Florida bred program will add bonus money to the owner, breeder and stallion owner of all accredited Florida-breds racing in Florida . One lucky owner/breeder received over $21,000 in accredited Florida-breds at the 2009/2010 Hialeah meet.
