Go through the gear changes [most punters don't]. Any horse with any gear change is suspect, but if it has bar plates or a tail chain it has positively no hope and if the horse has glue-on shoes it's there for the scenery. I read somewhere that only 2 horses won last year with glue-on shoes fitted:-)

Won at Sandown a few days ago with bar plates on!
Had been keeping tabs on the gear changes. You are right, about 90% of horses have lost with gear changes, problem being you usually have to lay them at ridiculous odds thereby not being profitable.
