I voted bad for the game.
Health of the game (field size/ability to card compelling races from a betting perspective) belongs in the conversation.
Hypothetical race: A peek at the condition book shows a first level turf allowance on Friday.
In today's game a guy like Brown might have 11 horses on the backside fitting that condition and another top guy might have 8.
Both trainers want to maintain their win pct so each enters only 1.
And the race goes to post with a field of 6.
Contrast that to the game as it existed back in say 2003.
If the same race were carded back then:
A guy like Brown might only have 4 fitting that condition and the other top guy might only have 3.
This is because the horses on the backside were more evenly distributed amongst the trainers.
Back then the same race likely goes to post with a field of 8.
