Default Is this a common trainer move?

Foolish Bid worked yesterday over the Belmont Training Track,

FOOLISH BID (KY) 37.48 b 5/10

and proceeded to finish second in the 7th today at 12.5-1 over the inner.

A smart move by Shug or a misidentified horse yesterday at Belmont?

back in 'the day' a horse used to work the morning of a race. of course, they used to run days apart as well, racing kept a horse fit, not the works they use in this day and age.
funny, more races available, and the top horses run less often.

as for this horse, i would never question anything shug did with any horse ever.

Used to call it a blow out. If the horse was too fresh, took the edge off. Used to get the next days DRF to catch late workouts that didnot make it in to that days form. Back when i used a drf.
