Thanks. I was in that thread, but that was years ago.
The thread says that the "&" signifies an international race. I am going to continue to follow this designation because I am doubtful about this explanation. There are no ampersands today. There were a couple yesterday. I am wondering if it might designate that a non-company horse from that race won next out, but I have not confirmed that. BRIS has some way of knowing what is a key race, but I don't know if they include that data in their files.
