Easily predictable Train wreck: Santa Anita Field Size: 5 Years of Numbers
 

And one of the responses in one of the Twitter threads was to increase purses…

The property next to Santa Anita , "Westfield Mall" is up for sale. The future doesn't look like Santa Anita will be racing.

Not sure that means much. I believe all the Westfield Malls are up for sale. The pandemic accelerated trends towards online shopping

The crusade against Lasix in stakes races can't possibly be helping.

Thomas says just get bigger gates...that will solve everything

But banning Lasix in stakes races just to please a bunch of woke crusaders is why there aren't even 6 horses in so many stakes races - let alone 16.

59 horses entered in 10 races for the Preakness Day card

Too many stake races.

enough all ready just close the place an get on with consolidation of the brokendown sport they want casinos give them what they want if that industry if thats what you want to call it will consolidate too . but day after day of fields of 5 and 6 horses is enough too make any fan or bettor quit this sagging sport :puke:

After scratches I’m sure 4 horse races will be fun

Exactly, Ralph. We KNOW the scratches are coming.

Six races with 6 horses, 3 races with 5 horses. One race with 8 horses. With rare exception, I stay away from races with 6 or fewer horses. It's getting hard for me to find playable cards.

Too many races. Need two days per week, one card with 6 and one card with 5 races.

The small fields just grind the minnows into the dust.

Quite a few racetracks need to close
Santa Anita should be closed Mid May til Sept
