Saratoga racing hangover is my guess. Shipping back down state and many horses who raced twice or more during the meet likely has resulted in poor betting fields the last x amount of years. So IMO this is a wise decision.

As usual, California is the trendsetter for the rest of the nation.

They re-painted the turf courses and the paint was slow to dry due to humid weather.
