The point is, if a graded stake horse races a month before and dominates and the conditions are almost exactly the same the next month, why would said horse not at least show especially when the field is 6 deep? Especially a horse that is undefeated, in form and not shipping and the weather is fine.

Phantom DQ's happen but really how many do you see? There is less chance of that than catastrophic injury.
Really?

Serious injury, minor injury, jockey mistake, stumble and lose rider, break terribly, too hot for the horse, horse regresses.. There are a million reasons a horse can run way worse than it did recently. I seem to remember a horse running out of the money in a big race recently for NO APPARENT REASON. Tip of the tongue..
