I remember seeing "head scratcher" in another chart from Philly last year. And I actually started a thread about it now that I looked back.........

I don't mind the additional comments as long as it doesn't distort the description of the race. Horse racing needs a little flavor every now and again.

Well, these charts must not have sat too well with DRF, because they are now edited. Yesterday the edited versions were on Equibase, but the originals were on DRF, but today both are edited.

Right. Everything's been edited out except the "obviously benefiting from the addition of blinkers" comment in the 6th.
