I think that Randy Giles wrote about this subject in his book "Extreme Pace
Handicapping. I'am in the process of obtaining additionaal information on thatt
book from another person on this website. That person has said that Partsnut and an additional person from this website. I think that he relies quite a bit on the Running Style of the hoorses in the race to make his determination as to the playability of the race. I think he alwso uses this idea yuou have of favorites being 2-1 or less as being one of the cutoffs to writing off the race asunplayable unless you have some way of writing off the favorites.

I like your thinking. It would be advantageous for me to do exactly as you say. First and foremost, find out if the face is playable or not. I'm so new at this that I don't have anywhere near the skills needed to make that decision.
