isn’t a good or bad thing.

Trainer history with layoffs are good to look into.
Thanks. In reviewing the 7/10/2021 races, I noticed I wasn't keen on the 5MTH3 layoff. It wasn't until later that I noticed it was Pletcher, with a win pct of about 23% on that layoff period. So, I think that answered my question. I think my cutoff point on elimination is going to be 11%.
