Question about using 20 race cycle forms

[Bill S]

I would like to start using the 20 race cycle form, but I'm a bit confused with how it should be filled out and used.

I understand that for each race played you put the price of the winner on the appropriate column for the tier level it was on in BL/BL. You circle that number if you bet on that horse and it won. I also understand where you put the word "missed" on the form if a horse won that was not one of your contenders. I also understand that you write "favorite" on the form if a low odds horse you did not bet due to low price wins.

What confuses me is sometimes I see someone write "passed" on the form.

Why would you add that to the form? You passed the race and did not play it. It should not have any bearing on your wagering. Did Dr. Sartin have people do that so he could see if they were adequately passing races instead of playing them all?, or is there a valid reason for writing it on the form?

Thanks in advance
