We are paying these purses, and it's about time they think about putting on a competitive event. Don't be giving out 250k for an event the majority of fans don't find appealing. The point you made has to do with making management, owners, and trainers happy. So, don't ever be surprised that we don't have the fan support they have in Japan or Hong Kong. In no way shape or manor is the same effort made to give the fans the same entertainment value as they give their fans. Most of us want nothing to do with the 4-betting-interest race today, or the 6 horse race today. I have no idea why they think fans give a crap about these situations. Most of us despise them for allowing people to get paid our money this easily. All we ask is full competitive fields. You could run 6 races a day, but make them competitive races with 8-12 horses. All of them(No exceptions.) How many times we gotta tell people this? It's important. It needs to be a friggin' top priority. They are too busy looking out for other people's interests. You wonder why people don't go to the track? It's pretty obvious they gotta stay home to piece together some way to get competitive entertainment value. Single tracks just can't get it done.

You are a 100% correct.
It is a crying shame to see a Grade I 10 furlong race with 4 entries. 10 furlong GradeI's are the highlight of American classic distance dirt racing.
4 horses, 6horses for a Stakes race SUCKS.
For some reason fans give ownership a million EXCUSES. The truth is that ownership is doing a lousy job. Don't make excuses for them. It's a lie that they can't roundup allowance level horses to at least get the number of entries up to 8. They just are not good at rounding up extra horses for these events. They aren't good at it. They do not set it as a priority.
The big owners are HAPPY with some easy grade I's.
I don't want to hear how hard it is to get hroses to run for a hundred thousand dollars.
Plain and simple the ownership sucks at rounding up extra allowance horses to fill out these cards. They do not understand the importance of at least 8 horses.
