Evaluating Horses Who Did Not Finish Their Previous Race

Description:
It’s not unusual for handicappers to have a certain type of horse that they always avoid.
A horse who was eased or vanned off in its last start seems a likely candidate for that type of designation.
And if that horse is a favorite or sent off at low odds in its next start, then it’s usually best to avoid it. There are surely much better 3-1 or 2-1 shots on a card than one who could not cross the finish line in its last start.
