I believe that is the point, which you have obviously missed.

I don't think you can tell the difference. I've seen the soundest horses breakdown. Bad steps happen. I've also seen a horse who couldn't really work between starts win about 100k in a year in lower level claimers.
Making the call as to when the horse should and shouldn't be run is not as black and white as you seem to think.
