I agree with this.
Personally, I like large competitive decent quality fields with limited complications.
I'm not particularly fond of races with a lot of layoffs, surface switches, suspicious dropdowns, first time starters, horses with wild form fluctuations, or anything else that might make me feel like I'm at a disadvantage against insiders. One or two horses like that is OK because I may have some value oriented insight into that specific trainer, but when it's a bunch it feels like I'm throwing darts against someone that knows what's going on better than I do.
