half ass race
Today's 8th race
they only carded half of a field to begin with (6 horses)
now one of the horses scratched, so we are down to 5 horses
five horses in the eighth race (supposed to be at or near the card's heart/peak) during a Saratoga card is SAD
Anecdotally, it seems that 50% of these cards either have some half-ass allowance field of 6 or 5 , or some half-ass restricted stakes with five or six horses.
We all love Saratoga, but they can do better than this.
