It raises an interesting question?
Due to the influence on the form we are told about shoes, tongue ties,headgear ,and even when horses are gelded.................makes you wonder whether inoculation dates should not be required to be reported to the NHA and included in the Computaform (as gelding is)
I think that it is very important info to have at this time of the year.
I certainly find form less reliable from Sept until about mid-November and I would think inoculation dates might divulge enlightening patterns!
The presenters in SA are always to scared to ask "the big yards" prudent questions that would help the punter... Think they are too worried the"big yards" take offence
Also think some of the big yards a spreading theirselves too thin with horses in all regions not being looked after by who the punter thinks they are.
