20% purse increase at Pompano

This follows on the heels of a recent 10% increase announced just days ago.

The increase reflects management's appreciation of horsemen and their support of the racing at South Florida's only pari-mutuel harness racing track.

Racing continues through May.

In other track news, post positions will be drawn tomorrow for Sunday's $30,000 Fred Monteleone Memorial Final, which is scheduled to be contested at 1 1/4 miles. The first leg was contested at five-eighths of a mile while the second leg was lengthened to the standard one mile distance.

Track record holder Panocchio, Hollywood Sign A, Rocky's Z Tam and Dee's Rocketman, all winners in their respective legs of the series, are expected to return for the final.
