problem with removing rails is all the infrastructure in the infield...lamp posts, finish line equipment, drainage channels, tote board, ponds, etc.
if those issues could be dealt with, it would be safer...give the horses another place to go to avoid an accident.
by the way, the Van Wert fair in Ohio runs a day of thoroughbred on a track with no inside rail; most steeplechases also do not have rails.
