I have often observed races with real first starters (not after spell), and often wonder if these are worth considering if the majority of the field has had three or more starts. This could indicate that the horse has not raced earlier for some reason or other, and the connections have waited until they can have a winner at a good price. If quite a few runners have only one or two starts it does not indicate the same purpose, as there is little difference between one career start and none. These are few and far between, but could be worth waiting for.
