The purse for the Debutante, to be run Saturday Sept. 20, has been set at $118,800. The 2002 Debutante, won by Taliano for Hall of Fame trainer Jack Van Berg, was
worth $102,600.
The boys will take their turn in the Barretts Juvenile on Sunday Sept. 21, with a new purse of $133,150. Last year’s race, won by Last Kiss and trainer Bill Spawr,
was valued at $90,665. The increased purses are based on a 10-horse field, and will change according to the number of entrants. It includes nominator awards.
The races, each in their 14th running in 2003, will be a featured part of the 17 straight days of live racing at Fairplex Park starting Sept. 12.
