If Gulfstream wanted as many winners as possible, then they would card a couple of gimme races in the sequence to insure that result. By offering horseman extra money to FILL the fields, they are doing the exact opposite. They are making it harder, to increase the handle, and insure the BIG PAYOFF for a couple of dimes. The fact, that they have sucked the money out of the system, and possibly hurt other circuits, is not their concern. Just like any businessman that says competition is healthy, is liar. You want to drive your competition out of your area, so that you are the only seller of your widgets. Therefore, you set the rules of pricing.
