The 10th race at Gulfstream is unusual in the sense that the field is 12
horses deep. Eleven of the horses are returning as Lay Off horses. I think
it wise to eliminate what i consider non-contenders before running my
software.

After eliminations of the non-contenders, i will get a better idea how the race
will shape up. I will use the term LOF for Lay Off.

#1 1 race and 1 work in 53 days . shows no wins after lay off out
#2. ok after lof - contender
#3. ok after lof - contender
#4. 1 race and work in last 34 days. shows no win after lay off out
#5. ok after lay off - contender
#6. 1 work and race in 42 days - shows no win after lay off - out
#7. LLof ok after lay off - contender
#8. 1 work and race last 35 days - shows no win after lay off - out
#9. fresh horse. the only one in the race - contender
#10. ok after lof - contender
#11. no works or races in last 31 days. shows no win after lay off - out
#12. 1 race and work in last 35 days . shows no win after lay off - out

The field has been reduced to 6 horses. Your handicapping screens will
be easier to interpret with 6 horses rather than 12.

contenders are 2,3,5,7,9,10

Now it's time for you to process the race in the manner you use.
Matchup, Validator, Htr, Spec, RDSS, or whichever you choose. Handicap it
and let's see how it plays out.
good luck!
