More than half of them will still be unraced by the end of this year.
How much that has to do with the training they're put through to prepare for these things - I have no idea.
A lot of good horses obviously come from them. Three of the last five champion 3yo's have (Lookin At Lucky, Big Brown, and Afleet Alex) - of couse Blind Luck came out of OBS April.
A lot of tough recent elite horses - that would pass for this generations brand of "iron horse" have come from out of them - Skip Away from OBS Feb, Silver Charm from OBS April, Xtra Heat from Fasig Tipton Timonioum etc.
