Pool size and quality of racing certainly has nothing to do with the rankings if Fonner Park is anywhere near the top twenty. I defy anyone outside of Nebraska (Not a slam agains NB, I'm sure they are excited and proud of their homebred program and facility) to look at the condition book for opening day and honestly say they'd risk a nickel there. Unless you have a penchant for $2500 4 furlong claiming races that is.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with the quality of racing, just how hard they work to appease the horseplayer through low takeouts, lots of available wagers, large field sizes, etc. Here's some more info, I think they are releasing the rankings 1-65 and all the data used to produce those rankings once they finish the top ten:
