make each jockey submit themselves to some sort of high tech brain scan. the purpose of this will be to determine the actual weight of each jockey's brain.

then, when assigning weight handicaps, make it publicly known the actual weight of each jocks brain.

so, for instance, in a 6 horse handicap, the high weighted horse will have to spot the low weighted horse anywhere from 1-3 ounces.

i think this is a much more useful gauge than anything currently used!

In my 20 plus years of watching gamblers and "watchers" of races it has become quite clear that Jeff Mullins hit the nail on the head!
