Yes, I think that the different preparations may increase the number of new tops-- or in some cases the chances of pairing tops. By the way, the question of horses with only 2 preps has been discussed only in terms of whether they have won. Even aside from the numbers they have run, look at the finish positions of those horses-- Closing Argument being the most recent example, Victory Gallop another. If Barbaro had run 12/31 instead of 1/1 last year, he would be yet another.
The reference to the low % of new tops is in the seminar.
