Races with 4 horses? That's nuts. I just looked at the charts from yesterday's races at Del Mar. Race 1, with 4 horses, had a WPS pool of $62 thousand. How can you keep a track open with that kind of money?
Race 3 had 6 horses. The horses that finished 5th and 6th got purse money of $351. Would it make sense for a trainer with a horse coming up to a race to toss it into a 4 horse field, especially a short sprint, and get paid $351 for a work-out?
