Madame Toussad could save them a bunch of money on a legit actor and nobody would notice the difference.

I think that's a well-written article.

The American racing public would freak if it knew it was betting on a field of horses that had these histories, below - even though they are indeed doing so on a daily basis without knowing.

I do wish we were more open in our histories of horses we gamble upon, but I don't know how to go about that with the way racing is run in this country.

Considering all the below horses have had their conditions resolved and have passed the vet and will be running, how would people, as gamblers, change their bets if given the below information about American horses? This is from the public past performance information on just one field of horses, one race.

(dates are listed)
Unacceptable performance.
Lame left hind: fractured lateral splint.
Substantial blood in the trachea after racing.
Rider reported horse became disunited in its action near the 200M and eased it down.
Lame left fore.
Lame left fore fetlock.
Castration.
Unacceptable performance.
Sore lumbar back.
Lame right fore.
Left fore tendon injury.
Lame right fore: tendon injury.
Right fore capped elbow.
Left fore capped elbow.
Lame right fore knee.
Right fore knee arthroscopic surgery.
Lame left fore foot.
Lame right fore.
Substantial mucopus in the trachea after racing.
Substantial mucopus in the trachea after racing.
Substantial mucopus in the trachea after finishing track work, withdrawn from race.
Substantial mucopus in the trachea after track work, withdrawn from race.
Substantial mucopus in the trachea after racing.
Right fore early tendon injury.

I know in Singapore and Hong Kong, much credence is given the weight of horses, which is taken on day of entry and published in the form, along with all previous recorded weights in their line.
