The Ultimate "Undisclosed" Change

[blackthroatedwind]

The issue is with the Jockey Club, if anybody, and racetracks need to be made more responsible for getting this information in a timely manner, like the f'n day it happens, and forwarding that information immediately to the Jockey club who will then disseminate it to Equibase and DRF. If that was done, then these groups could provide information as to when horses are running as new geldings.

Now, for example, when I see a horse listed as a gelding that has been off a month or more I check my pps from the last time it ran to see if it was listed as a colt. That's fine if the horse is in fact LISTED as a gelding, but as is often the case ( like Dominion Saturday ), the horse will be listed as a colt and MAYBE the tracks will get the information and announce it ( NY is pretty good about this and Florida is not ).

The bottom line is that it is yet another easily correctable problem in racing that the powers that be, whomever they are, has been dragging their feet on for decades.
