IMO, it is hard for a horse who is an 'X' to all of a sudden become playable.
What I want to know is why 'C' was left out of it

I agree that you probably can get a first cut of who are "throwouts" in a given race (and I've been working on that myself), but without knowing final post position draws and rider assignments - and the impact that they invariably have upon the pace and dynamics of a race - I don't know how one could start to determine what "contenders" are "A"s, which ones are "B"s, and which ones could become "X"s with a bad post draw. I know that I want no part of most Euros in the Mile or any of the 2YO races that draw an outside post. Similarly, it would make a big difference in the F&M Sprint or Dirt Mile if a horse in a 14-horse field drew the 1 or 2 post (with a running-style antithetical to such a post).
