Nope.

Cowboy Cal and Be Fair both made 10 starts in Graded Stakes company last year.

Thorn Song was the only to make 10 in 2008.

Nobiz Like Shobiz the only to make 10 in 2007.

Like I said, you have to go back to 2004 to find a horse whos made more than 10. Seven different horses did more than ten in '96 alone.
