California Purses


The purses in California are some of the best in the country day in and day out. Being excluded from a race is rare and with our starter fees you are guaranteed to pick up a check each time you run. We normally have a rainy season that produces 10-15 inches of rain and begins in early November and ends by late April. Thus from late spring through the fall there is no need for umbrellas here, no "off" tracks, and no races taken off the turf due to weather!
