You can't do anything about the fact that the same five trainers get all the good stock, with one getting most of it.
I'd like to see more open cheap claiming races at Saratoga and a lot less of these stakes races with five and six horse fields.
I'd like to see more baby races with 10 and 12 horse fields where you can make a lot of money if you're right -- than a whole bunch with small fields.
From a betting standpoint, I would take a card loaded with competitive cheap class races and big field baby races ... over a card with a bunch of soft stakes races and 6 horse field baby races.
