Good point about the shoes. I have been wondering if the contribution of a good blacksmith, which is very important, will become less so when racing is conducted over synthetic surfaces.

My pet peeve has always been equipment changes. I know that harness programs give an extensive list of runners' equipment. I have always thought it might be worthwhile to know when a runner changes bits, bridles or blinkers. A change from "cheater" blinkers to 1/2 or 3/4 cup blinkers is significant enough to be noted in the program.

With regards to extensive veterinary disclosure, I would imagine that it would be a boon for horseplayers but might change the claiming game (which is based on deception and not disclosure) quite radically.
