I find this interesting.
Assuming we're all experts in the fine art of the thoroughbred stride
(I mean, didn't we all spend most of our free time in our teens working at the local racetrack?)
the warmup, like the paddock inspection, is unique to the horse
which means that we need to have watched THIS HORSE warm up in the past
which means we need detailed records, etc.
when I was going to the track on a regular basis, i kept detailed paddock and equipment records
but I didn't keep detailed warmup records, cause
even though I would bolt from the paddock to the 3rd level to watch the warmups,
most times, it was all I could do to get up there and watch them
meta-handicapping beats handicapping any day of the week
