I believe pretty much everyone agrees that horses returning from long layoffs are usually bad bets. I would like to point out that before automatically tossing these runners that one, in my opinion, should take into consideration the caliber of the field, the trainers' ability to win with these types, the horse itself ie has it won or run well off this type of layoff, and finally will you be compensated well enough if you decide to wager on it. I have made some nice scores when following this routine.
