Catalin-- good idea. YOU tell him.
As for the % of tops being different-- shipping (especially from cold to warm) can make a difference, as will the races coming at the end of a long campaign. But these differences should be the same for everybody if you compare their % in other races to the BC. I definitely do NOT think the level of competition etc. should result in the % going down-- it doesn't in other races throughtout the year. Stake horses run a much HIGHER % of tops than other horses-- the exception being the Triple Crown, and that has to do with other factors.
