I can guarantee that Woodbine was tickled to death that he entered that many on one of there biggest days of the year. a 12 horses competitive field vs a 5 or 6 horse field. You make the call
Thanks for the reply......

I think there's a systemic problem when one trainer, albeit a terrific one, corners the market on the quality at a racetrack or tracks....I think it hurts the bettor, and if the bettor is hurt, the game disappears..

BTW...I found Oxley and Barber both with two horses entered uncoupled. That too hurts the bettor in my opinion as intent is difficult to judge.

Continued success to you!
