Wraps are a non issue with me. Joe Handicapper doesn't know why they are being worn. It could be as simple as track condition. If a horse tends to run down on a sloppy track he may have wraps on all four legs when he normally wears none. This isn't any cause for alarm. "We" don't ever know why they are wearing wraps (unless you can speak to the trainer directly) so I don't concern myself with them.

Now, they announced Syndicate Road was wearing a bar shoe in yesterday's 3rd and I immediately tossed him. He ran 8th at 7-2....

Ok....so I don't know how to read a form. Im the total moron. Dont know why I was thinking the B on the left side of weight carried was for blinkers.

God, I need a new hobby...
