Because decent horses are sold at auction
Real auctions, or game auctions? (Of what little I know of actual horse racing I know that there's some races in the US (Florida?) where several good horses are auctioned.)
Because in the game, the AI already knows what the bars look like. I get that the AI may not properly pick races for the horse, or the horse doesn't match what a trainer is looking for at a given time, or the horse performs poorly for some other reason and the trainer just decides to dump it.
I'd say that the AI used graded races to determine keepers for breeding, but I had the game put up a race handy 10 G1 winning 8 yo Mare at the Breeder's auction, who was breeding good foals, and has a really good top line and secondary stats. #UnicornStore
