Ok so what benefits are there to the bettors having a 7/8 over 5/8?? Hoosier barely does more in handle than Northfield

again a valid point
clearly the bigger track the more chances  you have especially from outside posts and hopefully 10 horses per race to deliver bigger payouts
i cant answer about hoosier, honestly i hate that track , i dont know if it is the way it is configured or the turns but most times the racing sucks

however it is clear that when you get the best horses and drivers on a big track the handle significantly jumps ( big m and even mohawk)

but if ohio is going to continue to drive its sires program a bigger track helps, kind of tough to pay your money  and have a decent horse but  you get the outside at northfield once or twice and your sires stakes year is likely toast

breeders dont breed for track size they breed to make profits the oval description means zero to a breeder.

It helps that these stud horses have fast marks and generally speaking that bigger ovals make faster winning times!

Its a matter of personal preference. Its easy to convert a fast mile on a half to equate to a big track mile.

With the upswing in Ohio racing as well as the downswing of Pennsylvania and Indiana, the days of the relatively inexpensive horses racing for big money could be coming to an end.  This will not preclude the small/1 time breeders that will be chasing their dreams.
Perhaps it's time for someone to try a new approach! What about a small half mile track with limited classes? Maybe be something like n/w of 1,2,3 with the rest being claiming  4k,5k,7.5k&10k! Something like this would give the mediocre horse someplace to race while keeping the good ones from being able to "steal" a race. They could call it "Mini-Maine"!
