becareful,

You make a very valid point.
There is a "performer" on a Sunday morning racing-orientated program , who, quite emphatically, suggests that owners and connections have no responsibility to inform the "great unwashed masses"(read:average punters)of their intended riding tactics. As I said, I have heard this "performer" suggest that it is the owners/trainers "right" to secure the best odds.
As a very informed student of racing such as "Imagele" would agree, these characters think they have an exclusive "club," whereby, they think the average punter is just there to present them with the turnover to facilitate their lifestyles.

Cheers.
