There's always exceptions when it comes to handicapping, being sweaty and jittery has also been a couple of turn offs for me. But, I'm not or have been an expert on viewing physicality, still much to learn.
Being sweaty when it's not humid or hot is a warning sign for me and if the horse is my contender I'll pass but, if it's very hot or humid it would be an acceptable excuse. I'll also view the other horses.
