You see when you play a percentage game you can have high numbers that may be misleading.
"311 Breeders' Cup horses have had their final prep races at Oak Tree. Of those, 31 individuals have gone on to victory, and an additional 63 horses have placed second or third. Of those horses which have used Oak Tree as their final steppingstone to the Breeders' Cup, a whopping 38 percent have finished first, second or third."

I would love to see the number of horses who have had their final preps at Belmont and the number of ITM horse as well. Something tells me that their have been a higher number of horse tuning up at Belmont Vs. Oak Tree and more winners but the percentage would not be as high.
