<![CDATA[Farrier change visible on the training footage — watch the pre-race condition]]>This horse's gait looked slightly off last week. The training footage shows a farrier change — pre-race condition is the most important variable and people keep overlooking it.

A shoe swap isn't automatically bad — it can be a proactive adjustment for the going. But if it's corrective, that's a different story.

My source from the yard says the situation is stable, purely preventive. Still, I'll wait for this morning's workout report before committing. Confirming before deciding.

Your 3-4 week adaptation window matches my observations. It's more pronounced in high-energy distance horses.
