Hi darkydog2002, "I've read what you typed and I understand what you said" ..... I love that phrase, it's not mine, but I just love using it, it makes me sound philosophical !!!!

My main question ??? Does the professional handicapper take into consideration improvement of a horse during a spell, ie; the fact it matures, grows bigger, muscles up and so on ??

A dumb question ???? How does the professional handicapper take into account any previously unforseen niggles that horse may have had, that have since been addressed either during it's current campaign or during it's spell ??
