"certain trainers REPEATEDLY are getting horses' performances to improve DRAMATICALLY overnight."
Oh, I wholeheartedly agree with that. A few trainers are almost obviously cheating.
However, I have also seen many strange form reversals at the artificial tracks outside CA. There was a tendency for early speed to be disadvantaged relative to normal, deep closers to do better than expected, and turfers to do better than you would typically expect on dirt.
So if we are talking about the last two meets specifically, I think that's going to make it difficult to the make the case against any of the trainers in question without clear cut positives as evidence. I hope they have them. Otherwise, they'll just claim their horse liked one surface and didn't like the other.
