One of those wins was a grade 3 stake. Why would you risk this horse for 75K when there is no apparent benefit? There is no weight break in the conditions.
How do you interpret this move? Is this a big red flag?

It's the only way he's eligible for this spot. Probably got hustled into it so Pletcher's horses could "get a race."
