Such information should be on the race card, like they do with tongue straps or visors etcetera. Then it’s up to the individual if they pay attention to the information.

The problem with wind ops is that they frequently don’t work. I would always steer clear of a horse I know to have had a wind op as all it tells you is that the horse has a breathing problem not that it has been cured.

Just tried to watch it on iplayer [sounds a lot more interesting than I thought it would be] but it won’t play. Really want to watch it, now.

Not watched it myself yet, but it’s on 4oD

Thanks for the link, Mr P – absolutely fascinating.

I’m just grateful that, as it was Channel 4, we didn’t see a beaming Tommo run up to one of the horses featured, wave a big microphone in his face and say: "By Jove. I tell you what, that was SOME performance. Well done, Big Feller. Enjoy the moment…. I LOVE it."
Channel 4 also slipped up badly by not arranging a Guest Test for the main expert on the programme, in the style of the Morning Line. And what about organising a nearest-the-hole golf tournament for those involved? What were they thinking of, missing such an opportunity?

I thought so too, and I even managed to watch most of the gory bits.

Paul Nicholls is a big fan of wind ops for a lot of his charges.

I’m sure there’s a thread on here about it.
