I agree about the guys you mentioned ( though I don't think Rick Violette necessarily belongs with Todd and Kiaran ) but would be interested to see you post specifics concerning their maiden breakers.

I'd have to research their stats. I added Violette because he generally has well meant firsters, not so much because they are in the same price range or class level as TAP and KM. He spans the gap between those two and a guy like Gary.

I suppose what would be needed is detailed follow up on ever first out winner in NY over the course of at least a year. That way you'd have several class levels covered. I think it's fair to say that far more is expected of the "typical" Spa maiden breaker than anything Gary saddles in November at AQU. I'd be curious to see what their overall records are.

Great, now I've established a project for myself and I'll end up overloading my damn stablemail with names of horses I'll never see again.
