Will give them a thumbs up for starting this. Like to see something done for the players, if they are inclined to use the information. But first lets get the basics right, like timing, distances, trainer, owner, and equipment.

Yeah, I can see some horse listed as weighing 86 pounds and another at 3467.

I was always told you can tell the health of a horse by his coat and his appetite. Makes sense that weight at least gives you a sense of whether a horse is feeling good (or feeling his oats).

The track marks on its flank are a good clue.
