If a horse has never raced against today's probable call times before, should the horse be thrown out for a board finish? Whether lightly raced, or heavily raced.

No. You have no idea what it's unknown potential is. If it has shown the capability to be with the pace early, on today's surface, it has a shot.

I often throw out a horse who's facing conditions today that it hasn't faced before. The lower its odds are, the more likely I am to toss it.
