What did Frosted run in that race, anybody know?

Interesting article but I can't really get myself to agree with the "what is a bounce"-part, surely a bounce isn't purely a "4 4 4 1 6" to use his example. Thoro-graph and Ragozin don't get to define the bounces like that. They might however be best suited to describe and identify them with their figures, but surely there must be some underlying physiological response to big performances that really "is a bounce", for it to be a real thing. I sure would love to learn more about just that, when it applies and when it not applies, what's really happening in the horses body etc.

Also not quite sure if Frosted here is the best example of a bounce, wouldn't it be a better description to say that he just freaked in that one race? I don't know the last figure yet, but if it was about a neg 2 he has just ran back to his previous best form in the last two, do you guys really describe that as bouncing?
