I think March is going to be the month where things really get shaken up.
Even if you were slow to start, the lack of Graded Stakes races in JAN and FEB made it difficult to make progress. It seemed everyone had nearly the same stable of G1 horses, and a few in the G2 group as well.
By my count, there's seven..... yes seven Gr 1 or II races the weekend of March 3rd (during the all important add/drop period) and nearly 40 graded stakes races for the entire month of March.
No longer will you see so many people with the similar stables.
Plenty of opportunities to move up or down.
