And of course its subjective, just about everything is.
And full fields are nice, but please spare me. If you honestly think that a track cards 10 claimers to get a full field rather than to save on purse money you are kidding yourself.
You can gurantee full fields by writing a non one grass allowance race or grass maiden race. Tell me IG, why not write those instead of the ten claimers?
Gulf has a long tradition of being the premier track in the country in the winter time. Its lost that title to Santa Anita now, and its a damn shame.
I'd love to see winter racing at Gulf thriving, but if you think I'm off base over being upset with the races they wrote last year, then lets take a look at the charts from last year at Gulf and you can show me all the great cards I must have missed, even though I looked at the entries every day.

Those slots are going to make you look mighty stupid. Last year is last year.
