R there too many turf sprints at Saratoga ?

[Benny]

According to a 2008 article by Kelso Sturgeon there was an increase in turf sprints -

" Meanwhile, the number of turf sprints run at Saratoga has quickly multiplied from 11 in 2005, to 22 in 2006, to 40 in 2007! This makes turf sprints the most rapidly growing segment of racing at "

The NYRA website has 16 such races run so far, with another 19 listed for the next book until 8/19. That's 35 with another 2 weeks to go after that.

To me its too much, and you ??
