How do any of them know how a horse that is not stabled on the west coast, normally looks, moves, behaves in the am? If they don't know the trainer's program, how can they judge a workout or the intent of that work?
I noticed that the clocker's reports in the DRF are comparing how returning horses worked last year compared to this year. Like you said, take it with a grain of salt, but at least to me it is helpful to narrow down my selections.
