So because you dont like the amount of tweeting being done the industry is somehow less transparent? Virtually every track does this crap and most of their handicappers do too. What exactly are you looking for?

Transparency is for Obama and other politicians. Why do we enjoy the trials and tribulations of this sport? Everyone can answer for themselves. When I pick up a racing form I just don't go directly to the PPs I read about the entire form, breeding, legislative actions, racing personalities, casinos, etc. Why do we write on this forum and listen to ATR? Thus, when I ask a question about twitter I want more information, all that I can get my hands on, because at the end of the day it's all about money. 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.

Does he update his status frequently to tell you the best horse he's ever ridden? Cuz he might find Twitter more useful for that.
