And sometimes it's too obvious. A turf race where the horse uncharacteristically fades, One work at Palm Beach Downs (obviously pointed to something @ GP), a ship up to Ocala for a rehab stint off that work (presumably), followed by a drop to the lowest level at Tampa - all in the space of 60 days:
A horse routinely handling conditioned 40K runners in NY 60 days ago, dropping to 8N3L. At Tampa.
Like you said, hope for the best
