No, It's never actually occurred to me to run those stats and think it would be a fairly difficult task.

I honestly believe that this falls into the "trivial information" category. I'm sure the horses don't know how many starts they have had. I can picture a horse making chalk marks on its stable door. When it gets to 30 it says "well, that's it for me, I ain't trying!"

Seriously, the number of starts a horse has had is no real guide to its chances in a race.
