Honestly, I don't know how those races are defined, but I'm presuming it's a compilation of many stakes races compared to previous numbers. Higher quality racing is doing quite well, while the lower end, the day-to-day grinders, aren't cutting the mustard. Racing is oversupplied.
Sounds like you attended a shareholders meeting.
