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 ??

I think they are fun. I dont prefer them, I would rather bet a stakes race or a nice 2yr race. They dont bother me though and I dont believe its too much.
The quality of racing is great, is this the only thing left to complain about?
