Danzig,
Again, I'm only speaking from my own experiences.
Some trainers still use races as preps for bigger later.
As far as works go, many people think horses are a "constant".
They ran that way last time, so why shouldn't they run the same way again now?
The short answer is that they aren't "constant". It's more like a curve.
Train up (whether with works or races) so that they're at the peak of the curve when it counts. It all depends on what is being aimed at.
I hope this makes sense.
