For anyone who plays Meadowlands, tonight's 13th race is a 5/8mile race.

Settlemoir says it's an experiment, and it's late in the card because the handle drops off then.

Ridiculously bad idea.
They say gamblers would like it cause gamblers value unpredictability and are comparing it to gamblers liking full, competitive fields. Are gamblers really going to bet more money on something they have zero experience with? I say no way.

Shorter distances hurt the drug trainers.

I really liked the 5/8ths mile dashes on a 5/8ths mile track. One time around, lots of action.

Liberty Bell Park used to have some of them, and Dover had a few years ago. On a 5/8 miles track, any horse who drew outside of PP 5 had no chance because you always got hung.

Chester has been doing odd distance races the last few years and they actually get a decent handle on  them

im sure lots of horses get hung in a 5/8 mile race. i would imagine you would want to enter horses that can leave the gate like a scalded rabbit.

years ago i saw AAron leave so fast with a horse (6 hole i think)  he got caught on the other side of the starting car and was declared a non starter.  that could have been ugly.

They say that they put it on the back end of the card due to the last few races being having the least amount of handle.
How could they overlook that race 13 usually contains their highest handling wager, the late p4? Makes no sense at all to fool around with a gimmick in their best wager and then tell you it was strategically placed race with the least amount of handle.

He had to say something. OR was told to say that. It truly makes no sense.
