Don't run races unless it's good entertainment. If you give out money for beating very few horses, then you can't expect people to be attracted to a boring sport. Customers don't like to have to wait a long time for their food, and they shouldn't have to wait 45 minutes for this stupid 6 horse race to be done. Give us a 8-12 horse allowance race. We are paying these purses, and it's about time they think about putting on a competitive event. Don't be giving out 250k for an event the majority of fans don't find appealing. The point you made has to do with making management, owners, and trainers happy. So, don't ever be surprised that we don't have the fan support they have in Japan or Hong Kong. In no way shape or manor is the same effort made to give the fans the same entertainment value as they give their fans. Most of us want nothing to do with the 4-betting-interest race today, or the 6 horse race today. I have no idea why they think fans give a crap about these situations. Most of us despise them for allowing people to get paid our money this easily. All we ask is full competitive fields. You could run 6 races a day, but make them competitive races with 8-12 horses. All of them(No exceptions.) How many times we gotta tell people this? It's important. It needs to be a friggin' top priority. They are too busy looking out for other people's interests. You wonder why people don't go to the track? It's pretty obvious they gotta stay home to piece together some way to get competitive entertainment value. Single tracks just can't get it done.
