 Horsemen have always planned for big target days.  The days of choice have simply changed.
When exactly did best return on investment shift from racetrack earnings to stallion earnings - the mid-1980's?   I'd like to go back and look at the PP's of most of the horses who have run in the Breeder's Cup races since inception, to see how significant a change has (or has not?) occured in race frequency leading up to a big race.
