    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[From 2010: "it turns out that the ancient rule of thumb that favorites win one-third of all races may need a longer thumb: In 2009, favorites in fact won 36.66 percent of the 55,984 thoroughbred races run in the United States and Canada. That's 20,521 winning favorites, 10 percent (1,860) more than the rule of thumb's 18,661." Includes the numbers by track. Compare to totals through 2014: https://twitter.com/o_crunk/status/570986883293036545 (also saved a screenshot).]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["One notable factor in the lack of prior experience of horses in both the Del Mar Futurity and the Hopeful can be attributed to the fact that trainers known for their success with juveniles are now sending out fewer 2-year-old starters overall. The much-ballyhooed issue racing faces with declining foal crops seems to be a potential cause for this decline. Bob Baffert debuted 11 2 year-olds at the recently concluded Del Mar meet. That was down from 20 in 2013 and 18 in 2012. Todd Pletcher debuted 29 juveniles at this year’s Saratoga meet, down from 35 in 2011 and 40 in 2012."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["With the rubber now being laid down on the 2013 road to the Kentucky Derby, predicting which 3-year-old is going to be the one this season is now the pastime of choice in the Thoroughbred world. In an effort to take some of the mystique out of identifying which of the more than 27,000 foals born in 2010 will prevail, below are some of the traits that have become the new normal where the recent spate of Derby winners are concerned."]]></description>

There were no casinos outside of Nevada and Atlantic City, N.J., and horse racing didn’t have the competition then that it does today. A little booklet published by the Form in the late 1980s proclaimed horse racing the No. 1 spectator sport in America by total attendance."]]></description>

And then it all started to slow down. With a few exceptions that don't last long (Uncle Mo), the best horses just keep getting slower on the Beyer scale."]]></description>

    <link>http://www.drf.com/news/troubling-trend-among-derby-winners</link>
    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Still, as the Derby has been progressively corporatized, to the point that its very name has been purchased by the Yum! Brands conglomerate of fast-food chains, the actual race itself has been shoved to the margins. After all, it’s only two minutes. The real point of the Kentucky Derby seems more and more rooted in the anticipation, the parades, the steamboat races, the corporate suites, the merchandising, and the constant feeding of a multimedia beast that aids and abets the process."

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Jeff Scott on the direction of racing over the past decade. "Another Saratoga trend is the continued decline in the number of conditioned allowance races, particularly in open (non-statebred) events. By limiting fields to horses who have won a similar number of races ("other than maiden, claiming, starter or restricted") conditioned allowances pit horses of roughly equal accomplishment against each other, and thus are often attractive betting propositions. The number of open, conditioned allowances at Saratoga (including those run as optional claimers) decreased from 54 to 34 between 2004 and 2009. Ten years earlier, in 1999, there were 72."
