Maybe this is not surprising, but i actually think you're wrong on everything you said here.
A sports analogy:
No sports team can be prepared to win the championship off of light practices.

In team sports, u are competing against other players that are making moves to counter yours so it's important to get in some actual competition to test your plays and moves against live competition. In racing, that's not the case. It's basically a case of how fast can u run and how far? U can learn a lot about your horse in tandem workouts.
People are so enamored by the idea that u have to run 9f first. Why? So u can find out one race sooner if your horse can go 10f or not? U still don't know for sure. A 9f race is still not a 10f race.
Maybe I'm wrong though. That is always possible.
