401 3-year-olds nominated to Triple Crown races

[robfla]

The three-year-olds of 2009 represent a North American crop of 41,115 live foals, which was the largest crop this decade. The percentage of nominated horses is 9.3%, compared with 10.7% last year.

Maybe I am being picky, or missing something, but ....
Doesn't seem like correct math, unless, like I said, I'm missing something..


41,115 live foals, 401 nominees... that is .00975 or .975% horses nominated. ( less than 1 percent )
