Thanks for the feedback,
I was rereading the follow ups and seeing forms to track last 20 races used both Hidden and Unhidden data on winners. Hiding allowed horses to move up in categories just as your suggesting to better evaluate. Then I was wondering if they should be left out of the downloaded data.
I don't recall reading anything about models specifically in the follow ups, at least in 70-88, maybe I missed it? Is there literature recommended that discusses the topic you are aware of ?
