All the variables of workouts are part of the form puzzle that a handicapper has to try to figure out to be successful. Like a FTS true form always belongs to the connections, then again even they are trying to figure what makes a certain horse respond in a positive way. The best thing about workouts is that they are indicative of racing soundness, especially layoff horses.
Hell a great trainer(Kiaran Mc Laughlin) just figured out that his horse Frosted responds to a greater time between races which just resulted in two graded victories. Had he know that prior Frosted3 yr. old season and the triple Crown series may have ended different. Some trainers never figure this stuff out.
The "Doc's" guidelines for workouts are a long standing axiom know to old heads that will greatly assist in the success to determine racing soundness and the form puzzle,particularity layoff horses. Take the lesson and put it in your tool box because it'll enhance your overall results more than it'll hinder it. Nothing will ever catch up with form but we also don't have to take the worse of it.
