Of course if Oaklawn had my prototype design - which features a 120-foot-wide dirt track - this would not have happened, since a track of that width could comfortably accommodate a 20-horse field (the E. P. Taylor Turf Course at Woodbine is also 120 feet wide, and they requested permission to run 20-horse fields in turf races when Woodbine hosted the Breeders' Cup in 1996, but the stuffed shirts at Breeders' Cup Ltd, turned them down - while concomitantly allowing Rick's Natural Star to become the Great Redeemer of the Breeders' Cup by granting that horse permission to run in the Breeders' Cup Turf).
