Saratoga 8f on inner turf

[parsixfarms]

Is there a profile for these runners? Intuitively, I would think that they are probably closers for whom the outside draw is not as much a hinderance. With the short run to the clubhouse turn, the fractions are usually pretty legit in these races, and the closers have a chance.

A lot of horses have trouble negotiating that turn. For safety reasons, I don't think I'd want to see them increase field size in these races to 12 horses.
