Markedly better???? Surely you are joking! Today we have grade one races with 3-4 entries, often times...even in races for older horses....the entire field doesn't have a past G1 winner! if you stay here for any time at all (or on any racing board), you will see threads proclaiming a race..."the worst grade one ever"! Ducking other horses has become an art form...and even BC fields are far from great usually!
