So there have been 161 BC races and horses that prepped at SA won 31 of them or 19% ( though with a dead heat for Johar they sort of won 30 1/2 races ). There were 322 place and show positions available of which SA preppers took 63 spots or 19.5%. Plus 311 stated, 31 won ( or 10 % ) with another 20% filling out those same in the money spots.
Sounds like they underperformed as one of the three major curcuits ( with Kentucky and New York obviously being the other two ).

numbers don't lie but you can lie with numbers. you new yorkers just make up your own tales to tell don't ya. the article says 38%, that would be a 5% better than expected ITM percent if you only count three circuits. how convenient that you discount Illinois, Texas, and Florida. that makes six circuits, and thus presses the Percntage to 38% vs. 16.66 which is 1/6.

My toleration for this from a number of people is AT AN END... Steve

Oaktree
Thanks for that Steve, It seems to me that some posters just look for conflict. Oracle and BTW seem to be targets no matter what they say. As an average fan with no racetrack connections I think its a great thing when these guys and some others share what they know. Thanks KP

Horses have done well coming out of West Coast preps. That's a fine angle. They've also done well coming from other preps. Its a puzzle each year. PAst performance is not indicative of future results.
I like West Coast racing even though I'm an east coaster, but small fields, wherever they are suck.

Scavs- I think what he is implying is east coast people are stereotypcially hard headed and bullies when it comes to being right and getting their own way. God knows I work with enough imports from NYC and New Jersey to realize that this isnt the most far fetched stereotype that has ever been conceived. While I dont know enough people from Chicago (and the ones I do are all great), I cant blame people for thinking the way they do
