Though it happens rarely, you might find a real bomb who has a string a A or A+ workouts and runs well. I think of Musique Toujours winning the Sunshine Millions Classic two years ago at 70-1 as an example.
Keep in mind that clocker reports are not to be used in place of good handicapping.

The clockers miss more than they get and they don't tell you how the horse was working last month. You really need a baseline to tell if there is an improvement in the performance of the animal.

I have found that clockers reports to intresting information only to reinforce a betting angle after handicapping a race.

With all that said , if I like a horse, the clockers show interst and I like what I see in the paddock, I usually increase my wager. Then the old win some lose some rule takes affect.

Clockers reports are intresting at best. Good luck
