Joint injections and the bettor

[clockerbob]

Should a gambler be informed when a horse
is having fluid injected into a joint for the first time?
First time cortisone
How many of the thoroughbred racers that recently died at the
big 'A' had pre-race fluid-joint injections? These are questions that
ray will never ask.

No, bettors dont need to know this stuff and they dont need to know which horses will be equipped with first time fronts either. They also don't need to know which horses will be getting blinker changes, they dont need to know which horses will be first time geldings either. The reason they dont need to know any of this stuff is because we just dont know how its going to affect the handicapping process, so, why know it? Why even report it, after all, none of us know 'what it means' so why even bother listing any of this stuff?

Do you have ANY idea at all how many horses get their joints tapped with HA at one time or another, clockerboob?
 
(Hint: MANY. Very few of them die on the racetrack.)

I'm much more concerned about how all of us here at BTW get collectively dumber every time you tap us with one of your harebrained posts, however -- THIS is a question that needs to be asked and examined.

Oh, just study the issue, and the problem will go away?
