The Ultimate "Undisclosed" Change

Not in the beginning anyway, but once there are vet stats that are published the public will figure it out.

The way that a trainer change can be a huge angle, a vet change I would also expect can make a significant difference.

Jerry Brown has raved so much about this. He and his Thorograph followers. I think it's a pipe dream, I don't think he will ever see this information made public to the bettors.

And that's a shame, but I think not. Besides, trainers are always subject to the choice of changing their vets. More detail that may, or may not, improve one's return.

I call this the "Allday ON" angle.

Yes, as do many others I believe. Times have changed, it used to be known as "Doc's Angle".

I have a feeling that if they owner and trainer were required to report it at the time they drop the horse in the box under penalty of forfeiting a purse for failing to do so, there would be compliance. The form really should be reporting 1st time geldings, can't see why they wouldn't include this information.

I just happened to hear about Dominican when I was listening to the "other" horse racing show on Sirius on my way to the simulcast facility. The trainer was a guest on the show Saturday morning.

Turfway's Wolfgang Kratzenberg reported it Friday on ATRAB, and today on the show, trainer Darrin Miller explained he ANNOUNCED at entry that Dominican was a first-time gelding.
