I assume there is no real notation for that kind of thing in the form? Is something like that available as public record if asked? Is it mandatory to report? What's the deal with something like that, Steve?

Kev,

This is a fascinating topic and opinions are all over the map. What should be documented and offered for public consumption and what is practical to gather, etc.? Throat surgeries? OK.. What about hyperbaric chamber treatments or other exterior/interior influence therapies? I think it's a can of worms personally, but many people think it's very unfair that a procedure like a myechtomy is done and only a handful of people get to know...

In Hong Kong all vet work done is posted for the punters to see. Beaten fav's jocks are called in to explain the ride and the results are also posted for all to see. The full disclosure doesn't hurt their handle at all. Look at the info their charts provide.

Thx guys. Despite 2 missteps in the first two P4's, (ignoring Daveron and leaving off Daddy Nose Best), it was a very good day. Hot Summer was a major key to the afternoon, and the Miss Netta/Yellow Boat returns were a big boost.

Was tremendously fun Travers Day too from "Loose on the Lead" all the way through a really nice party this evening. Hope everybody did well and enjoyed it! Admit that Tina and I and a lot of racetrackers are happy to be off tomorrow. Stay safe all..
