Granted. While I don't play WO, I suspect a snapshot of the overall mutual PO's might paint a differing picture. Not to split hairs, as you raise a valid point, but smaller fields have been part of the game for a spell. End of meetings, beginning of meet; a variety of reasons for short lived, small fields. NorCal racing is the worst for such.
As greed can be good, so too is chalk and can lull the inexperienced into thinking it's "an easy game". The more the merrier for some.
