I would never use a 6 F line for a 9F race unless that was the only line a horse had. The 6 horse was really a non-contender but that wasn't the question.

Due to the way races are carded they are forced to race at conditions such as dis. and surface that are not ideal for a sharp horse. Also with 3 year old's they experiment to find out what the horse is good at and prefers when it comes to dis. and surface, at least a smart trainer does or quickly finds out. The good trainers can find out much about their horses through training as to their preferences.

Good luck finding races and horses where they all have been running to todays conditions. A handicapper must be able to deal with stretch outs, cutbacks surface changes etc.
