What really irks me is when they run a Grade 1 race with 4 or 5 horses. I'd rather they cancel the race unless a certain number of entrants partcipated. I think cancelling would send a clear message to the trainers. Run or lose the shot at a big purse. Trainers being businessmen would not want purse money to evaporate and I believe it would spur them to enter. Belmont is notrious for small Graded Stakes fields.
