That is slightly different again from what DO is saying though - it's a given that different horses take different shapes when fit (as I mentioned earlier in the thread, Denman will never run up like a rabbit but he has some tightening to do still) it is another thing entirely to suggest that some horses run better when not fit. Sorry DO but I just can't have that - maybe the language barrier (you did say it was a French trainer!) meant that it was worded wrongly, ie really meaning that the horse is best caught fresh or sours a bit after he's been in work for a while after which it is then a given that he is fitter than at the beginning of the season!
