LOL ... I heard they pay well for our nags, take the money and run...

I like to see a horse with his/her coat shining and must stride out on the way to post,also it would be invaluable to Punters, if we could be told how a horses blood is, before a race

You, my friend, have hit the nail right on the head. This very essential fact is lost on today's punter. Hence the Rulebook idea.

I also thought it might be - but Superbru quickly showed me that it's not as easy as we would like it io be

I have long since ripped up the RULEBOOK

I prize 'perceived' fitness above all else.

I look for the darkness around the eyes and mouth.
