Trainers are going to say the breed has changed and horses cant take the training anymore. Owners have become trained that horses can only run once a month From 1960 to 1975 the drop was about 10% From 1975 to 1990 the drop was closer to 25% From 1990 to 2005 the drop was close to 20% If the trend continues by 2020 starts per year will be around 5 What happened to the breed between 1975 and 1990? You think conditional claimers are to be blamed for some short fall. I think trainers now have so many options they do wait for the best opportunity. Trainers dont really earn much more then a modest wage with day rate fees so I would think they are motivated like most to find a spot that a horse should earn the most money in.
