[For The Lead]

Ok, let's go to PARX for race 6. A field of 8 with no scratches. It's a 6f claiming race for 3 year olds and up with a claiming price of $16,000 and a NW2L condition.

Here's the rundown:

#1 - Last line. It is a "(+)" race since the horse was on the lead at the first two calls and faded down the stretch. The race was 27 days ago at DMR, a poly surface,, at today's distance. Yep, it got claimed out of its' lasat race for $8,000 and got shipped all the way across the country. Take not it has only had two races since it was off for 354 days. Also take note that it broke its' maiden for a claiming price of $20,000. When a horse breaks their maiden in a maiden claiming race, they are generally competitive at half of that price when moving into a claiming race. That makes the last race for $8,000 look pretty bad for this horse.
#2 - Last line. The last line was 27 days ago at a similar distance and on the same surface. It is a "+" race since the horse ran 2nd. Prior to the last race the horse had 5 route races.
#3 - Last line. The last line was 24 days ago at a similar distance and on the same surface. It ran 3rd making it a "+" race.
#4 - Last line. The last line was17 days ago at a similar distance and on the same surface. In the race the horse was fighting for and had the lead at the 1st call and was fighting for the lead at the 2nd call, making this a "(+)" race. The race was also at the same claiming price and condition as today's race.
#5 - Last line. In its' last race the horse broke its' maiden at a similar distance and on the same surface. Since today's condition is NW2L it is acceptable, by the guidelines, to use its' maiden win. Because the horse won the race, it is a "+" race.
#6 - NO LINE. The last race for this horse, 22 days ago, came after being off for 194 days. The last race was a route on the turf so it is unacceptable.
#7 - Last line. In its' last race the horse broke its' maiden at a similar distance and on the same surface. Since today's condition is NW2L it is acceptable, by the guidelines, to use its' maiden win. Because the horse won the race, it is a "+" race.
#8 - Line 2. The last line was on the turf, so we move down to line 2, which was 72 days ago and within the 90 day cutoff. In that race the horse broke its' maiden at a similar distance and on the same surface. Since the horse won the race, it is a "+" race.

Here is the field.
