First Race after the Layoff

[SentToStud]

Fronts on a young horse for the first time can never be taken as a positve. Fronts for the 10th straight race on a cheap claimer are meaningless. Everything else is a matter of interpretation.

The main thing is this.... You see fronts on a class plunging young horse comng off a layoff without decent works, etc... and who is a short-priced favorite, you have a solid opportunity at a good score on a single race exotic (Tri, Super).

Tri and Super wagers are the way to go if you have a high confidence level a short-priced chalk is going to run out.

I've never been upset when I bet these and I'm wrong and the chalk wins easy. That's the way it goes. But when you are correct, the wins far more than outweigh the cost of tossing a lousy chalk.
