The cloud issue is duly noted. Like I said, it's a unique phenomenon. Reminds me of the Philly Park chart note I read once -- "swerved to avoid goose."
I'm looking forward to Turfway notes --"circled cloud" or "balked nearing cloud."
Instead of lost irons -- "rider lost mask in stretch" or "horse/jock combined coughing fit -- caught at wire."
Will they have a designation like the asterisk they used to put in the Racing Form for potential mud lovers? Will they be able to breed horses that love the cloud? It's an evolving area (I have noticed the Polytrack TG symbol).
Will TG note particularly large clouds? Larger fields will have bigger clouds...as will fields with a lot of pace up front... I'll have to factor that in...
