Are there actually people claiming that less racing will lead to greater interest in racing? I really doubt it. Less racing is not being done primarily as a way to make racing better or more interesting, its an adaptation to an economic reality, it's survival.
the question how to adapt. maintain the same number of dates and have numerous cards filled with 5 and 6 horse fields running for smaller purses, or to cut dates and try to keep field sizes and purses up.
I prefer the later.
