Granted I'm the original Pollyanna on topics like this, but the hand-wringing over field size is a lot of windmill-tilting. And given how good the overall action has been at Belmont (specifically) this spring, utterly misplaced. There's up and down days everywhere in regards to field size and you just have to pick your spots and play where you see opportunity. And frankly, some well-placed smaller field races mixed in to an otherwise challenging sequence with fuller fields can be welcome to multi-race players.
Hollywood has small fields for the early races most days and yet the P5 continues to pay exceptionally well generally. To wit... THURSDAY: Fields of 5-7-9-8-6, P5 pays $1,768 FRIDAY: Fields of 6-7-6-6-5, P5 pays $1,078 SATURDAY: Fields of 6-7-5-8-7, P5 pays $346 SUNDAY: Fields of 5-7-5-8-9, P5 pays $4,762 THURSDAY: Fields of 5-6-6-8-8, P5 pays $94
