For example The 2000 Guineas field at Newmarket, will enter the Irish 2000 and do battle again. The same will happen for the St. James Palace stakes. The _preps feature is designed to get most of the same horse competing against each other in as many of the high class races as possible over a similar distance. Otherwise, the entries from the AI Trainers could be random and unrealistic. 5,31,X 8,G1,3,CG 164000 _preps,2000 Guineas Curragh Irish 2000 Guineas 6,23 8,G1,3,CG 156600 _preps,Irish 2000 Guineas Ascot St. James Palace Stakes
