It's not all nefarious.

I doubt it but not impossible. The big name guys have no problem sending horses to Dubai and running without it. I bet if it were an option versus a weight break, they'd go with the L every time. I'm not suggesting anything nefarious. The trainers are following the rules. But passing up a possible speed edge versus a small chance a horse might bleed? I don't see it.
