I know many owners are indeed qualified to have a high degree of input as to where and when their horses should race, or they employ managers who who are qualified to do so. I'm not real sure that this owner is on that list.

The point Oracle is that Keyed digressed in the Wood and Gotham from his performance in Florida. He wasnt showing improvement when he went longer distances when he went back to NY. He ran a great race at 7f on an off-track. He then gets 2nd in the Gotham and 3rd in the Wood. He just hasnt progressed during his 3 year old season.
