As far as purses in big fields, tracks need to have sliding purse scales that go down for each scratch. Why they haven't thought of that is anyone's guess.

Can you explain why a sliding scale would do anything other than screw the owners who stayed in the race while not providing any benefit to horseplayers? If you want bigger fields, screwing the owners who don't scratch by lowering their purse money is pretty dumb, isn't it?
