Looking at todays fields at Menangle, in particular the C5 or better races, it appears having a field of 8 is more important than grading.
Why have a spread of C5 to C12 in race 6 and then C5 to C34 in race 9.
They could have had a C5 to C7 but only 7 starters, then C8 or better.
It is obvious these spreads are not in the participants best interest but in TAB turnover.
Want to break a C5 or C6 heart....this is the best way
