LOL, 37 entered in a 2 year old MSW Turf race and 19 entered in a 5f stakes race, and they can only go 10 deep, and they aren't costing themselves money. WIDEN THE TURF COURSE or change something to be able to run 12 per race on the lawn.

There is no excuse for them not to split that stakes except being cheap.

Obviously Del Castillo and others in the similar habit of running hopeless horses are nice to run against but it is ultra frustrating when you can't get in a race and there are 3 or 4 absolutely dogs in there.

The irony is that they will use 12 horses in grass stakes going long in and 14 horse fields in dirt stakes. This was explained why to me one time but the explanation was so ridiclous I immediately struck it from my mind. If the rails are down there is no reason to not run 12.
