Here is a good example of a neg dropper / layoff horse
3 back it wins at CL10 N2-L
2 back it almost wins a OPEN 10,000 claimer
It gets claimed. Next race they up it to CL15 N3-L
A logical step up and good sign, The horse runs very wel , almost wins again, But something goes wrong and the horse goes on a 207-day layoff
It returns, but now it's entered to be claimed for $5000
Talk about a half price giveaway, This one was bet down to 3/5 and almost won
but It ran second,
The workout pattern looks odd, 12 days and then 13 days at slower than 12 seconds per furlong. Then there is a 13-day rest and then a fast workout
I like to see the workouts and times space evenly and not too fast at about 12 seconds per furlong.
