Sure when he thinks the horse is better suited for a shorter race..There are plenty of times he dismisses the cutbacks.

You really need to CHILL. Searling is constantly saying that CUTBACKS don't work on turf. The last time he wore the duncecap, it was because of a turf cutback horse at BEL. Of course, he's even stronger against turf sprinters stretching out.

But thanks for the lesson on handicapping methodology.
