How about this.

The North American Racing Calendar is packed with Grade 1 and 2 races that come up very weak. They have short fields and many standouts because there are often 3 different races for the same group running within 7 days of each other all for good purse money.

Therefore, somebody with the resources and the ability to spot their horses really well can run up gaudy statistics winning grades races against glorified allowance fields.

Throw in the fact that the somebody in question has one of the best breeding operations in the world behind him, among other big money clients and it is not all that hard to believe.

On BC day, those fields do not exist. You can't beat 3 nw of 2 lifetimes and a grade 2 also ran and win a race. You have to beat the best of the best that day. You don't get the optimum circumstances that you see all year.

Just food for thought.
