This will no doubt affect me quite a bit. Not really sure how yet, though. The first thing i thought of was that the prices might be a bit shorter than they would've been in the larger fields (obviously not every race would've had more than 8 starters to begin with), but then i thought perhaps this might cause Saratoga to have even more 2yo sprints than they did i the past. Which would obviously bea good thing...

    8 is too short, 10 would of been better from a wagering aspect, especially tri's and supers.

    Bingo. With 8 horses an ALL-ALL-ALL-ALL super costs $1,680. Make it 10 horses and that amount surges to over $5,000. You can see how that would affect payouts. Although, who am I to complain, if Hollywood Park had 6 horses in a fucking race I would call it a full field.
