I only care about an edge. If there's a stickout in a race, chances are it has more of a chance in a smaller than a larger field. Most of the people here have bigger balls than me. You all want to take on bigger challenges. So, you FORCE action. You play difficult races, that I wouldn't touch, because they're part of a sequence you're playing. In most cases, the focus is on a single track and that day's card. I look at 6,7,8, whatever, tracks a day and try to get the best plays from them. This is races where I have an edge. I'm not looking to make scores that will make my year but rather to play (and win) consistently and to my strengths. Why, then, would I particularly care if the fields are small or large, as long as I'm winning?

Hope this clears up the small fields issue, once and for all.
