Mr. G - It will be interesting - there were a lot of rumors being spread around Cby one of which was that the Minnesota Racing Commission was going freeze samples from the top 3 guys at Canterbury late in the meet.. Never saw or heard anything formative so I dismissed it as just internet drivel. But subsequently Ness moved a bunch to Prairie Meadows and other places, settling himself in at Hawthorne.
He then cooled off considerably afterward, toward the end of CBY and finished the meet with 43 wins, 3 best behind Justin Evans (61) and Mac Robertson (77) both of whom are at Turf Paradise for the winter I believe.
Like you have observed, the magic of all that "prep work and watching replays" seems to have waned since.
It will be interesting for sure.
