With Purse and Distance Reduction, DEL Handicap Runs with Six
DEL will get a rare opportunity to get called into action on Sunday, as a field of six takes part in the $400.000 DEL Handicap. This is for fillies and mares on the main track, and is run at nine furlongs. That purse amount is a far cry from the $1,000.000 that was offered from 2006-2009, and represents a low point for the race.
