How many of them have been a short price other than Fleet Indian?

You're talking about a lot of horses who had very little chance going in. She'sastonecoldfox types.

I can't find a complete list... but probably not many. If someone has it, it would be an interesting study.

A lot more NY Breds in the past were bred like Fourstardave: by Compliance (winner of zero races and $1,599) out of Sex Appeal (unraced) rather than Friends Lake (by AP Indy out of a G1 winning mare) or Haynesfield (by Speightstown out of a stakes winning mare.) The chances of success at a Breeders Cup level were very, very low with that type of program. It would be like a Cozar out of a Mountaineer cripple suddenly rising up to win the BC Mile today.
