This is one quote from that article :

“Pari-mutuel wagering experts consider field size to be a key factor in betting volume.”

Umm hello you don’t need to be an expert to figure that one out. Less entries means less wagering. It’s not rocket science.

I’ve already brought this up before but I guarantee that Saratoga has smaller fields then years past. Do I like it ? No. If it rains which we surely know will happen then that means even smaller fields because for whatever reason trainers love to scratch at Scratchatoga.

Another thing not mentioned in that article that I feel is more important then most is on track attendance.The more on track attendance bleeds the worse off things will get. This sport will never survive on just simulcasting alone. Numbers don’t lie ....look at Belmont’s on track attendance this year.
