O.P. and article question why the numbers are roughly double what they were over last year and previous years at TuP. All of these criticisms and explanations may answer some other question, but not why the sudden increase. The horses didnt get "inferior" this year or develop problems for the first time this year. The economics didn't suddenly become what they are, been that way for decades. The track wasn't deep and slow prior to this year. The trainers didn't become less intelligent and capable than they were last year.
