I did a quick scan of Saratoga opening day class levels for the following years:
2000: 3 MSW, 4 Alw, 1 2yo filly stakes, 2 Clm (25k, 20k tags)
2005: 2 MSW, 3 Alw, 1 2yo colt stakes, 3 Clm (20k, 50k, 35k)
2010: 3 MSW, 2 Alw, 2 stakes (2yo filly; and James Marvin), 3 Clm (25k, 20k, 25k)
2015: 2 MSW, 1 MdnClm, 3 Alw or Alw/OC, 2 stakes (2yo filly and Lake George), 2 Clm (35k, 16k)
2018: 2 MSW, 1 MdnClm, 2 Alw, 2 stakes (2yo filly and Lake George), 3 Clm (25k, 40k, 40k)
I didn't take the time to look at NY bred races in those samples as that grouping has obviously proliferated since 2000. But overall the class levels are fairly even on that superficial level with a bit of a slip as time passes on.
