Actually, MSCS purses kind of stink. $10,000 to win $200 to start. $3000 to win $200 to start. Regular show at Lawrenceburg? $200 to start. Except for the money up near the front, it's a regular show purse. They do pay $100 to show where, a regular local show pays $50. However, the difference there is less than two pit passes. Every little bit helps, though.
