in order to qualify a laid off horse.
His main point is, the horse can be considereded to be a contender for workouts of five furlongs or longer that occur within the past 14 days,
no matter what the time may be and no matter how long the horse may have been away from the race.
I have been using this in my handicapping effectively and I can post many races in my archives to demonstrate this. In fact this is the only effective tool that I know of that can qualify laid off horses. Below is an example of a horse that won and paid $16. Notice that there were 2 five furlong workouts within 14 days. Many of these laid-off horses place and show hence I always check out these type of ehorses as part of my handicapping process.
