They should limit it to 15 horses or less and have the top money winners to date have gates 5 through 10, allowing the trainers to pick based on previous winnings...as it is now the trainers just use the horses they know can not win to take out their perspective rivals...I can't believe the horse racing powers that be haven't fixed this obvious travesty...it just like a football coach sending in one of his scrubs to pick a fight with the other team's best player with the hope of getting him ejected. Now American Pharaoh must start from gate 18 instead of having the 1st gate preference as it should be...time to grow a brain horse racing world !
