A bigger field does not increase the chances for a good need-the-lead type either. The odds of the horse with the best overall chance at winning the TC are reduced by an increased size of the field in any one of the three TC races. That is my basic point, and I think that it pretty undisputable.
You said it best in your earlier post:
"The more horses we put on the track the more random the winner becomes. And so TC is less likely."
Now I am really done with this thread. Why we have engaged in this discussion for two days is beyond my comprehension.
