What"s going on ?

[Miles Long]

First time I notice Saturday at the Meadows and Mohawk that the horses all didn't have head numbers on. ?

They haven’t used head numbers in years at the Ontario tracks. There was an accident when a horse jumped over one that fell off at start. They realized they were of no use. Didn’t realize PA was finally getting with the times.

Meadows hasn’t had head numbers for over 1 year.

Most tracks got rid of them. I'm surprised M1 still uses them.
