No. That factor should be calculated in the track condition and bias.

Harness programs should DEFINITELY:

1) like DRF, program lines should add in last starts 'equipment changes'. (a 'bl' or 'ksb' or maybe '+38" ', etc. But is there anymore room?
2) theyre pretty good with this, but better driver first name i.d. in past performance line might help.
ie.
*k cummings and k cummings -im sure those interchangeable first initials have fooled folks..just saying,
'ke cummings' on one might help. And if theyre doing this, t.y.
OR
*rising Ontario driver Samuel Filion (S or SamFilion) and legend Sylvain Filion (S, Sy or Syl ) - isnt often, but you def ask 'did he drive this horse last week in that grassroots event?
* tr tetrick, t tetrick, tetrick
*just a few others

Small stuff but key stuff.

The program should note who is using gas and how high the octane level is.

They spell their surnames different from one another.

Filion vs Fillion

Down Syndrome and other disabilities should be listed. 

I've seen a few in person that seemed to exhibit this quality (or some other abnormality). 

For over two decades it hasn't been necessary to go the track so that type of information would be invaluable.

Quarter horse programs, at least in the old days at Los Alamitos, charted headwinds, tailwinds, and I think maybe crosswinds.

This is an important factor. Let you know if the driver has his head in the game or his mind on other things.

I'd love to see drivers batting average for all drivers that are in race lines if different from driver that night ....
