Limiting sprint races on the dirt to 8 horse fields is just another politiclly correct move that makes no sense, sends the wrong message and serves to make racing cards less playable to some degree especially if there are a few scratches.
The reasoning that they gave is embarrassing...

I'm just glad it doesn't affect many races, and I don't bet those kind anyway. This move makes ZERO sense and is, indirectly, yet another shot at bettors.
