Excellent points...............while I appreciate the 'dominate' animal (of either sex) in horse-racing, the bottom line is still the wagering aspect of it. Give me bigger fields and more competitive races to play. Good article.

I'm perfectly fine with SMALL fields and LESS competitive races with clear stickouts (that don't necessarily need to be chalk). And, I have no problem looking around a bit to find these gems.

The 3 run homer wins a lot of games during the regular season but rarely succeeds in the playoffs.
