Do not agree at all. I don't about cats and can openers, or all that other noise your threw into this, but the fact is horses that ship to FL from NYRA improve dramatically - run well beyond anything they have ever shown before, in terms of time, improving be seconds! This has been going on for at least 40 years that I have seen, and at many other track as well. Often a horse will run it's best race ever on the drop, then continue to run better than ever at the right levels. Horses are not machines. You are cashing a different subset of winners than those who use class, but you hardly have a monopoly.
