I've seen a fairly big difference on most occasions.

I'm sure many remember the Paulson turf horse who had a win and 2nd at big odds after she returned to the races in foal. I think her name was Steal Buns or Buns of Steal or something like that.

There is a filly racing now at PID named Modern Verve that is pregnant. I actually thought about claiming her for 5K when she was entered on opening day - she dominated a 12 horse field at 16/1 odds in her return and I thought the race was a lot faster than the figure it got.

However, she was announced as in foal before the races. I didn't want to spend the money for her once I found that out. Turned out to be a mistake.

Steel Buns is her correct name.

Sometimes the break from the track may have more to do with the improved performance than being in foal.

I'm much less skeptical of this than BTW's horse color pedigree theory...

But, link?
