The biggest thing to know about Tapeta workouts is that there is no clocker there. Whatever the topography (uphill/downhill), configuration (dogs, etc..), surface (Tapeta, grass, woodchips?), distance.....Remember that Dickinson himself calls in the workouts.

A really good friends family has three or four with Dickinson now and I can tell you the workout patterns are nuts. From 3f to 9f and on different surfaces. You can't make heads or tails of it. The owner doesn't even try to ask. He is a good trainer.

Bottom line....if he reported a work the horse is atleast somewhat sound, outside of that, I am not sure you can tell much.
