Facts about field size and other interesting things that most people dont know
The average field size in 2010 was virtually the same as in 1995 (8.19 versus 8.20) The average field size in 1965 was 8.59 and in 2009 was 8.24, hardly a major difference. The average starts per horse per year has been in decline since 1960 and the rate of decline was greater from 1960 to 1980 than from 1990 to now That racing has been steadily contracting since 1990 when there was 79971 races run to 2010's 50918 That there were 2397 registered TB's exported in 2003 and 3263 last year Funny when you read stuff about the business that all these facts somehow are never brought up Last edited by Cannon Shell : 07-21-2011 at 11:10 AM.

Before the race I turned to my brother and said to him they should check Busters Ready's lip tattoo b/c tht did NOT look like the same horse tht barreled home in her last two. Aesthetically just didnt look like she did in the past.

Royal Delta looked pretty uncomfortable when she took a little dirt. She had a meltdown at Tampa the first time... they might want to keep her wide down the backstretch or something.

The early 60's - you're looking at win-place-show betting and just two Daily Doubles a day - with a 10-to-14% takeout depending on the track. Now you're looking at W-P-S takeouts ranging from 15.5% in So. Cal to 20% at Turf Paradise. So - the exotic menu has to come through to make the race playable. The trifecta at New York tracks is 26% takeout -- the daily double in Cal is 23% - so, bigger fields become so much more important now. I never read much about field size in the old days. Gamblers didn't seem to complain that much about it.
