If that is so, are you saying that if the race were a Grade II, III, or an unlisted stake, he would not have washed out before the race?

No, I didn't mean to suggest that. I'm saying that the more times a horse races, the less likely they are to find something new to over-react to. With just 2 previous races, any number of things could have caused the washing out at Aqueduct.
