I think the horses with earnings have a tremendous edge this year moreso than any other.
These guys will not have to pound on their horses in the preps, can truly use them as preps.

Ya know, there used to be a time when horses were strong enough, and racing was honest enough, for horses to actually try in all their races and run more than four times a year.

Sadly those days are, apparently, long gone.
