I'm just starting to look at the new season, no bets yet. Mostly large fields, 9-10 horses, which is always good for prices. Typically this early in the season, especially in cheap claiming races, horses are coming from a lot of different tracks. A 10 horse field might have horses that raced at 5 or 6 different tracks last out, which makes them harder to compare. And they are coming from secondary tracks (at best) like Lone Star, Prairie Meadows, Arapaho, Canterbury, etc. And a lot from the dreaded FMT (Tulsa), which does not time splits, only the final time.
I played it last year, with few bets during the first weeks, and found it formful and playable once everything got settled in. Good size fields late into the year, and good betting opportunities in my range. I am a win bettor, and rarely play a horse below 5/2 odds.
