Stronach...for all the grief they catch...and MUCH deservedly so....this is FINALLY a good thing to be done FOR the bettor...
As I posted to another here in PM....(same person gave me the heads-up on the Stronach group plans...very nice)....plus years ago here...
If you knew a horse lost 100lbs between races and was favored....and the race was only 2 weeks later...wouldn't you BET AGAINST with BOTH hands...ie....the famous example are Super Savior...from Kenutucky Derby winner to Preakness zero....
There ARE MANY more....but THOSE facts are HIDDEN from the bettor....good luck if you can get THAT info..
Meanwhile in Dog racing...if a Dog loses 3 lbs between races...won't be allowed to run...
You can do the math yourself....and of course realize...lost weight DOES indeed matter....
