Steve, generally speaking, I'm really just trying to learn as much as I can about which efforts may cause a "reaction".
I realize each horse is different, each situation needs to be evaluated on it's own merit. But is there a general guideline that we can use as a starting point, and work from there?
From now on, I plan on posting about horses that I consider major question marks on whether they will go forward or backward, or pair.. I would greatly appreciate your weighing in on what you would expect( and of course anyone else).
On a slightly different note, the one thing that stood out while handicapping Pimlico Saturday with the TG's was some of the extraordinary numbers these Maryland horses have been putting up, for certain trainers, especially. Now I don't follow Maryland racing, so either theses horses are far better than I realized, or perhaps the "medication" rules are a bit lax
