If we could safely have every race be a 14 horse field of closely matched horses, I think that would be great, even though such races would be very difficult to handicap.

What's the most bet race of the year? The Kentucky Derby, with 20 lightly raced horses. Bettors love a difficult puzzle.
My math works out a little differently. If we have two surfaces now, and we can't get consistently full fields...then adding another surface will only thin out the fields even further. And I can't possibly see this as a positive.
