In the most rare of cases - bridge jumps in those states aren't always terrible bets.
That is - unless the stewards resort to phantom DQ's like in the case of Nicole's Dream.

Thats not the point and perhaps you are not trying to understand the point. But thats okay...
The point is, if a graded stake horse races a month before and dominates and the conditions are almost exactly the same the next month, why would said horse not at least show especially when the field is 6 deep? Especially a horse that is undefeated, in form and not shipping and the weather is fine.
Phantom DQ's happen but really how many do you see? There is less chance of that than catastrophic injury.
