While it's not the inner merry-go-round at Ozone Park, it is very close IMO.

If you don't have early quicks, don't bother coming.

I do have statistics to support it.
I researched 5 years of results and the average position of the winner at the 2nd call for the winner was almost exactly the same as Belmont Park and Aqueduct (about 2.5 lengths off the pace.)

For that matter, in the same post a reference was made to the inner "merry-go-round" which anyone who follows NY racing day in and day out knows hasn't been around since Glen Kozak took over, with the exception of a few days each meet.
