Horse Racing Gear Changes
We have grouped together all the latest horse racing gear changes reported at Australia’s leading racetracks for savvy punters. Horse racing gear changes take place when a trainer decides to alter a horse's equipment in a particular race. Pay close attention to gear changes because they can have a significant impact upon a horse’s performance.
Lots of gearing changes involve the application of blinkers, allowing the horse to focus. Although not always, but blinkers have been known to lead to a strong upturn in some runners’ performances. The main downside is that they can lead to a horse burning out early. Additional gear changes relate to nose rolls, bar plates, winkers, pacifiers, tongue ties, glue-on shoes, bandages, and lugging bits.
