Wouldn't you think that if a horse hadn't raced in almost a year, its fitness would be poor, even if it had a barrier trial or trwo?

Red Machine, if Sunline was coming back from a spell, would you wait for her to get some "fitness" or would you get on her straight away?
Isn't this why horses have trainers? To make sure they are ready to run? We don't just round up a few nags from a paddock and get them to run around.
I for one am particularly interested if a horse is returning after 150 days or more. Don't know why, it just looks weird in the chartform.
Four tomorrow are:
BR4 - Past Blast (153 days)
SR5 - Marakesh Express (196 days)
MR4 - Raptor (164)
MR8 - Chiming door (199)
SR6 & SR8 have two horses over 150 days, so I'll leave them alone for now.
