I've never doubted the theory whether it's applied to humans or animals.It sounds logical to me and probably has merit.
Just to clarify what was said on HRTV the two hosts at the time presented information from a woman who has scientific information regarding training of thoroughbreds at high altitudes,more specifically a Los Alomos training center where MTB trained and the hosts added credence to that theory to possibly explain yesterday's performance.
I guess there are more implausible explainations out there and I'd be more inclined to bite if they ran yesterdays Derby in the rockies.
