One of those wins was a grade 3 stake. Why would you risk this horse for 75K when there is no apparent benefit? There is no weight break in the conditions.
How do you interpret this move? Is this a big red flag?

Not to me. He's out of allowance conditions, so it's either this or stakes, and maybe they feel like he's not a true stake horse. Plus, it's not like they're giving him away for peanuts.
On another note, I'm interested to see how Fearless Vision runs.
