No, but they are certainly watching them differently with their "big race teams." A few years ago, an out-of-town trainer had his Belmont Stakes horse in our trainer's barn at Belmont during the weeks leading up to the race. They had someone outside the horse's stall monitoring the horse around the clock for the two or three days before the Belmont. That this is not taking place on the typical Grade I day in NY or any of the other venues you cited does not mean they are "sleeping in the parking lot"; it just means that they don't have as many cops on the beat those other days.
