I think more of a "move up" was offered by the special shoeing this horse gets vs the nasal strip. The nailed-on glue shoes were added the same time as the magical nasal strip.

Not to mention that the horse had a terrible trip, in his final start before the move-up.

He blew the break, and became extremely rank as soon as dirt hit his face. He was rank and climbing for the majority of the race.
