The only thing I can think of is a quarter.
A horse races for purse money only under certain conditions where allowing betting would be unfair to the betting public. The most common reason is when one horse of an entry is scratched after betting opens for that race. In many racing jurisdictions, the other horse is allowed to run, but for purse money only. All money bet on the entry is refunded.

A Western purse may be purchased at stores which carry western apparel and accessories. Country Outfitters is one such store. A Western purse may also be bought at Fort Western, Cavenders and The Wire Horse.
no the purse is determinded on the race when you bet you get some money fromo the purse if the horse u bet on wins Actually, the Purse has nothing to do with the amount of money wagered in a horse race. The Handle is the total amount wagered on that race and after the track takes some out and the taxes are removed then the rest is divied up among the winning tickets. These are called Pools and there is one for each style/type of bet (Win Pool, Place Pool, Show Pool, Exacta Pool, Trifecta Pool, Pick 3 Pool, etc).
