Belmont Graded Races Short Fields

[jms62]

So we again have to deal with virtually unbettable Graded stakes this Saturday as both Graded stakes have 5 starters (not counting the jumpers). Steps have to be taken in order to avoid this. How about cancelling the races if we can't get at least seven starters. Crazy maybe but my thinking is that trainers and owners would not want to miss a shot at a purse and would be incented to enter. A quid pro quo so to speak in order to avoid leaving money on the table... I'm sure I'll get flamed and am open to hearing better ideas.
