Well said. The 2f races are nonsense, but the 4.5f races are great for the 2 year olds that come to hand early. Why should you have to keep working them for nothing when you can get paid to run. The fields are usually big and obviously wide open. If you don't like them, don't bet them. If they don't generate handle you can bet they won't be carded anymore.
