How is it that somebody complaining of
"about" offers data which is nowhere near to being
accurate while he chides a racing association for sticking with
"about" so said association doesn't have to be precise?

... only in the minds of those who have no understanding as to the definition of "about".
The first thing to do is to report data which would fit within the generous swath covered by "about", and then, when your own data is accurate, that's the time to critique others.
Although, in this specific case, your data should be
precise before you grumble about somebody else who does not pretend to be precise.
C'mon, you cited a finite window of time (regardless of what you meant by "from 2009..."). You regard yourself as a horse racing official, and these horseplayers
deserve better from you.
