Its hard to bet on races on with small fields. Horses continue to break down at Keeneland and the Californai tracks costing us potential superstars (i.e What A Song). The Polytrack is a much safer surface that can be made faster or slower depending upon the make up of it and also the climate that its in. More people(i.e those that watch on the big days) will stay interested in the game once they can follow a horse that will be able to race frequently throughout the year b/c its not injured from running on hard/concrete surfaces, also field size will swell (see Turfway Park) which will increase handle. The positives factors outweigh the negatives here.
