In my opinion the problem is this: there have been a few horses, in recent years, that if you saw them in their stall or walking a day or two before the derby you would leave them entirely off your ticket, but they came through and hit the board. Do not underestimate how much race day meds help some of these get through whatever is bothering them. And I don't mean anything illegal. Strictly legal stuff. So I think you have to be very careful here unless they actually miss some training due to the issue(s).
I would say that if you already don't like the horse then maybe that helps you like them even less. But that's about it.
