Looked at Shug's BC starters as far back as TG has sheets for, 1999.
(incidentally, if anyone wants to do this kind of search. the BC site has a decent searchable db to pull up queries like this: http://stats.breederscup.com
18 starters: 17% top, 28% pair, 39% off, 17% X
But if we exclude the west coast venue BC's, which granted leads to just 9 starters so sample size is an issue, we get: 33%, 22%, 11%, 33%.
So, non west coast, he's 55% to run at least a top. Which is right what his "overall" shows currently, 54%.
Which, if we can live with the sample size, really only tells us I suppose what we already could have inferred - that for east coast trainers, and Shug specifically here, they have a better shot when the BC is not out west.
