Saratoga 8f on inner turf

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Not really much of a profile. Some speed, some mid-pack, some closers.

I'm all for bigger fields.

I guess if the jockeys say they don't feel safe it won't matter.

If that's the case though ... why not just make all races on the inner turf 8.5 furlongs? I realize you can't run 8fs on the mellon.. but so what.
