So, I dont get your point. If a horse has never raced with wraps and then I notice them on the back legs then that concerns me more so than seeing them in the front. If a horse has always used wraps then it doesnt bother me at all.

How do you keep track of who wears hind bandages?

I keep track. I dont bet very often and I have a tendency to follow a certain horse. Plus if I do handicap a random race, then I will go back and check the race replays to check for them.

Interesting...I can see your point. What about track condition, do you take into consideration. Have you found bandages added on turf to be more negative?

I will only bet a dry track (dirt) unless the track is off on Bc Day or Ky Derby day then I will bet. I love betting turf races regardless of condition. Wraps or bandages to me is a negative if they werent on in prior races regardless if the race is on dirt or turf. However, I do not make my final decision soley based on wraps.

There was a horse called Sir Batman that ran at River Downs years ago. This is my all time favorite horse. I followed him for 3 years. I noticed that he would race with wraps every other race. When he raced with wraps he performed great, without them he performed poorly. These are things that I try to find to give me an edge.
