I see your point John, mind you I think Kotare Mahdi was the first of his to find its way onto the list after winning in town and after the serious charges of tubing someone else's horse on Interdom day, he started winning left right and centre BUT none of the Listed horses have won since being listed (after winning just before listing). Maybe that constitutes a drop off?
