What are the conventions and rules about reporting workouts?
As I play more races, I have noted that workouts seem to be consistently reported. However, there are times when workouts are missing from at least Brisnet PPS. For example, in the case of some shippers, there are no work out reports. I don't imagine that a horse is just shipped to a track, jumps off, and races.
In another case, a horse came after a long layoff only had one workout several weeks before this particular race I was handicapping. I discounted the horse as a result. But the horse won by a decent margin. My first cyncial guess was that the trainer somehow hid the work outs. (Or work outs simply don't matter much???)
My question: are there accepted conventions or rules on the reporting of workouts?
