Introductory

For the past four years, @Notcloudyallday has been tweeting facts about the racing agenda of horses considered at risk and trainers who demonstrate a need for either compassion or skill. The only current permanent record of this information is handwritten in personal books. The facts need a permanent, public record. 

Thus the blog, THE WATCH, which is to be found at www.eyesareon.blogspot.com

At this time, the plan is to issue two progressive reports– a Trainer Watch and an Individual Horse Watch posted each month of 2015 (as long as I am able). Should an entire month prove too cumbersome for Blogspot or the reader’s ease, we will go to a Plan B.

The charts will be maintained continually and should be self-evident. Both trainers and horses are listed alphabetically, with tracks and race dates in order of occurrence. “Span” may need some explanation, since it is recorded only when the span of time between races is 14 days or less. For now, I will highlight the current date items in each chart for your ease in locating the info.

The horses within each trainer’s record are not to be considered a Watch unless so recorded. The individual horses are sometimes second or third claims from an original trainer Watch, and a Watch is rarely halted. Each horse has a background that has placed that horse at risk at some point along his or her lifetime.

A tweet will be offered when circumstances are imperative. A tweet will also be offered when each day’s result  has been completed, but will be updated as each race takes place during the day. Hopefully, each update will be timely.

The following links are to the facts of THE WATCH:

P.S.  Please note that THE WATCH now consists of two posts. Post 2 is simply a continuation of the Watch and can be seen at either eyesareon.blogspot.com or by simply clicking on the July Post link to your right.
