I feel that the addition of blinkers is probably of significant assistance to around 2/10 horses. It probably is of more help to younger horses before they have developed any persistently bad traits rather than older, tried horses.
Something to watch for is horses having their first start in a race and wearing blinkers or horses that have performed badly at their first start or two then have blinkers added to their gear.
