Golden Gate has a 14-place gate. Big name races always attract a disproportional number of entries, many of which have no business in the race. Many of whom can adversely affect the running of legitimate contenders.

How often does Golden Gate start that many horses in a race? How much of an impact does that narrow turf course have on various positions in a full field?

The fact that they do something is not a proof that they are doing things optimally.
