How can this be, if a plan is correct it should be correct across the board, shouldn't it?


I think there is a very good reason for this. Check out the race times in WA. A very high % of races are truly run [within 2 sec of race records], the exact opposite to what's happening in the East. Form statistics become far more meaningful in truly run races and thats a big bonus for good systems and handicapping methods generally [It also explains why more favorites get up in WA than anywhere else].
When we see a blanket finish we are looking at a race that isn't being truly run. What do we see in the East? Constant blanket finishes!
