They can also offer finish up insights or gallop out times, etc., whether they are horses well known to them or not.

The majority of listeners to ATR have always seemed to relish these visits specifically because they are not as widely available regularly. (Though when a Welsch or Free, et al, visit during the year for stakes previews, they frequently cite the recent morning efforts...)

I would take the clockers and the points.

They, atleast, go outside.


Come to Vegas Freddy. Scav will be there.

The thing about private clockers is they have no clue what the riders instructions are before going out for a work , therefore when they see something in reality they have no clue what has went on before hand.
Last year I worked in company on a 3 yr old maiden filly with Mine That Bird and I was breaking her jaw in the workout to keep her from being in front of him , private clockers were all over her saying how good she must be lol.....he won the Derby and she is running for 32k claiming.
