Yes, I was focusing on stakes horses and lightly raced ALW types that are considered prospects. But to some degree, it appears that even some of the higher level claimers and statebreds in NY are handled differently than they used to be.
It might make sense to also compile the stats for starts per year away from the major racing centers where a handful of trainers that like to space races have a ton of horses.
You have to admit that this has been a pretty rugged group of 3YOs. The conventional wisdom here has been that if you run in all three Tripe Crown races you are toast. This year, it wouldn't be a complete shock if the major actively raced 3YOs make up the triple in the Classic.
