The problem isnt just there are a lot of options, the fact that a handful of trainers control so many of the good horses forces them to split them up. If the horses were spread out among more trainers you would see more balanced fields. But for some reason many owners seem to think that only a few guys can train good horses and as such give those trainers a tremendous amount of leverage when selecting races. There are plenty of horses in NY that would run in stakes there had they not been trained by guys who already had another horse for the race.
