It's possible, but questions should have been asked before the race, and perhaps even a system where the trainer lodges reasons for form improvements (or potential sharp declines) BEFORE the race in a sealed envelope, only to be revealed after the race if needed. Ideally I'd like all this stuff declared to the public at least an hour before the race, but in a non-tote monopoly system, that would never be accepted.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580349973739747085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804298397747224505.post-22827944750674729642010-09-01T16:43:11.909+01:002010-09-01T16:43:11.909+01:00Spot on analysis, as usual.

It does help those who want to land a touch do so much easier.<br /><br />Regards<br />SimpleBetSimpleBethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816386047494558590noreply@blogger.com
