Just noticed that a trial of weighing horses prior to race time was to be carried out at Sandown today and at the next Sandown meeting.
Depending on the success of these trials, moves will be made to implement this initiative at all Metropolitan courses and extend it progressively to all country venues.(according to a report on the racing Victoria web site)
Anyone got an opinion as to what value this will be to the punting public.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
