Hi Speedy,
I can understand why one would make this assumption however the recent evidence does not support your observation. The average field size hasn't changed over the most recent two racing seasons. Discounting abnormally low sample sizes it has remained at 8 runners.
There has been though a drop in average dividend across all runners roughly in line with some previous posts depending on what measurement method you apply.
