I was referring to well-regarded shippers, which would be more likely to come from tracks other than the ones you mention. Pletcher tore Delaware up last year with his horses stabled there. This year, with no stalls? Eh, not so much.
I'm hardly the first person to make this observation. Some tracks it really helps to have a race, or extensive training, over the track. Del Mar, with its new surface, is definitely like that. Did you sell all those wobbly horses in the stretch the first two weeks? Now that the meet is several weeks old, that wobbling has been greatly reduced. I wouldn't want to be the horse coming in from the outside that now has to face much fitter horses.
