Interestig idea, Jim. I've never heard of it being done but it wouldn't be too hard as the horses could be measured/weighed in the saddling area prior to each race and this info merely transposed into the PP. I wouldn't mind knowing if a horse has lost weight or grown some. Our former trainer had a horse who was the biggest on the grounds at Delaware Park here in the Middle Eastern united States. FRED BEAR CLAW was 18 hands and was quite talented once beating a Kentucky Derby placer(Free House) for the third spot in the Pimlico Special.

I have to totally agree about everyone having the same info and that is why I come to foreign message boards and read as much as possible about the game. Not only do I enjoy it, hopefully it will pay off. In the case of Aussie racing simulcast in America, how can it not. I feel like I have a huge advantage over, well, the entire country as how many of them are really doing their homework. This makes Oz racing more than just a late-night novelty like it is for most over here, it is actually the best informed play of the day for me sometimes.
