I guess my real concern from a horse playing standpoint is how do we know who was impacted by the virus vs just didn't run. It's not only important for the current race but also the next race for several from his barn who just didn't run. Competitive edge most notably. Is he that bad?

The game is hard enough as is.

Yea it sure would be great to find out which horses are turning up sick now.Thats why it is nice in places like Hong Kong where when an odds on runs up the track the judges investigate and results are posted in public for all to see.
