Sunday afternoon at AQU, we will have a field of ten taking park in the 20th running of the Knickerbocker, which is a nine furlong race on the inner turf. The purse for the race has ranged between $100.000 and $200.000 since inception, and this year’s $175.000 amount is a slight increase over what it was last year.
