Forego,
You may want to consider using five horses with Validator, even if you don't really think the last couple you've entered have much of a shot to win. Why? Because any other number than five (six with ties) nullifies the value of the BAL readout, which is one of the strongest aspects of the BL/BL screen.
For example, the "4" BAL for the above race is meaningless. On the other hand, if you'd entered five horses and they all showed a "5" then the race would be wide open and you could consider Tier 5 for a win bet.
That's just one use of the BAL readout. Much more is in the archives.
This isn't fact, but I've seen enough races with Validator to know that entering three horses produces less than optimal readouts. At least that's my take on it.
