I find workout information to be interesting, but I haven\'t seen any on your sheets.  What\'s the argument against considering workout info in your handicapping?

bdhsheets

One only needs to read the reports about workouts during the TC series. Different clockers catch the same horse running slower, faster with the trainer witnessing something else entirely. When do they pick up the horse? Who\'s riding? a 118 lb Bailey, a 140 lb workout rider or...........

The reports often are larcenous with clockers reporting slower works at the behest of trainers and their own financial gain.

May they all come home safely!

Speaking of workouts during the TC series, anyone check FC\'s blistering work this am?  
That beats his own 5f work just before the Derby for the most impressive of the many TC works, don\'t you think?
I hope he saved something for Saturday...
