Players should have all information available to them, then they can make informed decisions and wager on their opinion.
How do they expect a site like TG to produce the very best numbers possible if not all info is available to them? Symbols like bo, bi, tu, etc all play a part in the decision to play a horse or not.
IF the information on Chrome back in December indicated that he had a shoe change and an added nasal strip and THEN the horse jumped up and continued to run great at least there would be reasons to think he might just keep on running well.
When changes are made to a horse and the handicappers are unaware of it and then the horse wins and you find out LATER, that's what pisses me off.
In other words, put the info out there and if I make a poor decision that's just too bad for me.
JB, you are exactly right. The more guesswork there is the weaker the opinion the smaller the wagering dollars.
I think sekrah, or someone on the board said the strip hasn't or doesn't make a difference in horses. Probably 90% of the time that's true, except when it isn't true like Chrome. If it weren't a big deal, the connections wouldn't have made the stand they did with NY earlier. They know it helps THIS horse.
