Yea, the sport is regal and exciting and I am addicted to all facets of it, but I don't spend the time invested for my health.

Well transparency certainly isnt one of obama's stronger areas but that is for another section.

I suppose that twitter can be useful for late changes, change in track/weather conditions, etc. But no trainer is going to offer op much useful information to the general public just as a football coach isnt going to post his gameplan for upcoming games on the net.

I can't imagine how anyone can possibly gain a betting edge reading tweets from jockeys and trainers.
