"Breeders Cup day was a good example of this stuff-- not only did they rob the early horses on the card when they made the figures for the day, but look at Pleasantly Perfect. Ragozin gave him 7 1/2 points (15 lengths) better than his Goowood figure, 6 1/2 points better than he had ever run before in his life, and he's not a young, lightly raced horse."
You must be making this up, or is this some type of practical joke.
Think about it a 5YO horse who has been running and winning in Grade 1 company, at the best tracks in the country, suddenly JUMPS UP 6 POINTS ON SCALE.
And his trainer isn't a drug guy.
Isn't this like a 40 year old growing another 4 inches.
