I would say you are correct in both of your assessments.
1- I am guessing that it’s part of a sold television package sold to NBC. Hyping the Breeders Cup while also showcasing summer racing seems to benefit both sides, especially on a baron summer tv schedule.
2- yes. I believe this is the case. I don’t think 2nd place gets the free trip to the BC. Sort of like winning races after you’ve already qualified for the derby maybe?
I’ve been keeping spreadsheets on some jockey / trainer data, as I’ve mentioned previously. I’ve since found that looking at it that it may be “paralysis by analysis” and I’d be worried to lead people down a wrong path. However I think your data may be useful to the point on what jocks land on what horses. I get there is a business where they may end up on a weekend in Saratoga, but feel that is thrown out the window in November.
