You're the only poster that has noted this.
When sitting in the grandstand, (not at home on TV or computer) watching them come onto, and warm up, on a wet track...this is especially true. The pps have to be noted, in every aspect, but in addition hints can be seen in the horse's movements, their hooves--how they lift them, their head, their ears--pinned, wheeling, or forward, their tail swish. As you say, though, tread lightly. They are, of course, not absolutes, only small indications. It pays to observe.
