Hypothetically speaking of course, if a trainer has a top ranked horse, and says for weeks that such horse is running in one of a certain track's races, it can make it more difficult to assemble competition for said top horse. If said horse is withdrawn one day before the race is drawn, there is not necessarily enough time to assemble the same field had said horse never been pointing to the race in the first place. While this happens, as horses are susceptible to all sorts of problems that can prevent them from racing as scheduled, it can, and does, have a potentially unnecessary negative effect on certain races.
Hypothetically speaking of course.
