In this case, if I made the horse a contender,[which it was not] I would have ben forced to use one of the top 2 turf lines. I would not use the 6f sprint since it was a mdn race and I don't use mdn lines in races above the n2l level. Also I stick with Docs' guideline that G1/G2 races are won by horses that have won or placed in such a race. I understand that these 3 yr old stakes at this point of the yr present a unique situation but overall the Docs' guideline works well.
