Look at several horses at Aqu this winter that dropped to the very bottom - $7500 claiming and then suddenly get "good" again, rising back up the class ladder.
This used to be a phenomanon of the starter handicaps that featured long distances, sadly, no carded much anymore. On both NYRA and at Finger Lakes cheap horses would drop so they could become eligible for these races ( bigger purses) and many just toook off. On such horse at Finger Lakes, Toll Road Tommy, reeled off something like 10 in a row. Others went of to become local stakes winners. Something just happened to them after they got thier heart back.
