The game is becoming more and more unplayable race to race as we all know long before today.

The horizontal sequences are basically not worth it when they are scratching horses at this rate both before the card starts and once the horses are on the track. Ed DeRosa posted this stat today: "Going into today 23 tracks have had at least 300 entrants in 2026. Here they are ranked by % of scratches: 1. @keenelandracing 18.9%. . ."

I think he posted that before another scratch happened near the gate.
