General question about layoffs

Ps Varanasi won at 13-1 beating his entrymate for a $2 exa of $126
Oops 12-1 was 13-1 when they crossed the wire��

Barry it was me who pointed out that most Brown and Pletcher won't show 5f works. I didn't say that they never use 5f works. In general their horses, as well as other leading trainers, show a long string of 4f works. The pattern shown for Mighty road is very rare for Pletcher. I was pointing this out because if one uses Scotts' workout requirements to the letter which included a 5f from a lay off work they would knock a horse on the recency factor. Todays' training regiments have changed requiring an adjustment to those guidelines.

Eloquently said and I agree. I still think that when those trainers show the 5f wo it means something extra.

Barry that's would seem to be a logical assumption.
