A super star at Oaklawn or any other meeting would be VERY rare. It's only assigned in very unusual instances. Something like racing office error. Or some sort of a computer glitch.
They could go years without ever having one horse assigned a Super Star.
As far as horses that may have been excluded and now have a better date or star. That info is kept in the racing office.
If you want to know if a race over filled. Look at the numbers at the bottom of each race on the overnight.
It will look one of three ways.
------------------------------------------10-----------------------------------------
Means there were 10 entered. Which you can obviously see.
---------------------------------12 & 4AE------------------------------------------
Means, Well you know what that means.
When horses never saw the light of day it will look like this.
---------------------------------12 & 4AE & 8EX-----------------------------------
The excluded horses are named out loud at the draw. Some sharp agents will quickly jot down their names.
If you ever want to know what's really going on at any track. No matter the subject. Make friends with an agent. They can be a fountain of information.
