louis, I think you heard right, but I think he just misspoke. Easy to do as that panel was speaking about a multitude of topics off the cuff.

the average number of starts per runner per year was 10.22. It's now down to an alarmingly low 6.31. During that same period, the average field size has fallen from 8.62 to 8.17.
trying to come up with something brillant..... this may take a while. :)
