How is this "artificially high"? 14 to 1 is 14 to 1, whether a horse is 3rd choice or 8th choice.

High relative to the the heavy favorite. If the 1-5 horse is a gate scratch that 14-1 shot becomes a 3-1 shot in one flash. If the favorite in that race were of the typical 5-2 variety, the 3rd choice would have been about 6-1 or so, not 14-1.
"Artificial" was probably the wrong word. Typically a 14-1 3rd choice is only available when someone is heavily odds on.

Well, the horse had been running for lower tags than this at AQU before he headed to Finger Lakes. He may have been running holes in the wind vs weak competition at FL, but looking at his complete history, this basically looks like the NYRA level he'd been at for quite some time.

Or the FL vets turn a blind eye to certain 'supplements'.
