For those of you that use Formulator, there are many filters you can select for a data query. Blinkers on, blinkers off, first time turf, etc. I think drugs on and drugs off would be valuable. I don't think Abel Tasman had her usual concoction. I really mean that. I think these trainers cycle in and out of what they use, likely because the effects may wear off over long-term use.
It's the only explanation that makes sense. Anything else should have been discovered by a trainer of his stature. In addition, it makes the situation all the more problematic that his other runner, Vale Dori, who looked to be done with racing, wins the race.
My honest opinion is it has more to do with what these two runners were given, and not given, prior to the race.
