Hard Call

That's a really difficult decision, and nobody made a wrong call. I don't think 306 days is too far to go back at all. It's the 4 horse's third race back after a layoff, with two good races since the layoff. It should be expected to improve.

On the other hand, its racing in much cheaper company, an indication the trainer thinks the horse may not be what it was before the layoff.

I'm not sure what I would have done. Any of the last 3 lines would have been quite reasonable. I probably would have gone for the 2nd line back, a 5.5f race, which would have kept him in contention, but looked less dominant.

What a fun game,
Dick...
