The gelding situation has been explained endlessly....but I will do it for the 567th time.....
Providing information that is right
SOME of the time is far worse than not providing it at all. The very simple fact is that gelding information is provided by the Jockey Club and a very poor job is done reporting this information. Some jurisdictions, like California, do a great job, while some, like Florida, do a terrible job. As the system stands now it is impossible for DRF to get the information anywhere close to accurately thus they cannot provide it reliably.
It is the system that needs to be changed, and I strongly believe it should be, but until that is done DRF cannot responsibly provide information that is not 100% accurate.
