Question about Connections' intent for those on that side of the game

If you have a 5yo that\'s 11/19 lifetime with 16 ITM finishes, what would cause you to geld him before a $1M G1 race?

My amateur inference is that they are all in to cash the biggest check of his racing career - 1st time Lasix, gets a weight break from his last 5, his race 2 back he went to his knees at the break then inhaled the field in a breath.  Visually impressive, thought the video quality was most certainly not.  

He has fired off a layoff before. If he gets move ups from the weight break, Lasix, and no more apples in the orchard, that puts him awfully close doesn\'t it?
