I have written an article in hoplitodromy.
It has the most complete surviving list of victors from 520 B.C. till the time that hoplitodormy was abandoned 185 A.D.
Only 460 B.C and 456 B.C are missing. Even if the winners were Spartans, it its a bad percentage for such martial people

As I have posted elsewere Spartans truly dominated the Peloponnese when Kleomenes burned the Argive Sacred Band of 4000 men alive at Sepeia.
Spartans dominated because they fielded the largest elite complement than other cities or "commonwealths".
When Epameinondas helped the Arcadians to field 5000 "Eparritoi" that was the end of Sparta.

Kind regards
