    Something I've noticed in races when only one runner in the field wears a nose band it wins. This doesn't happen every time but it's been happening a lot of late. The last race today the winner was the only one in the field. Worth monitoring . Where do you get the info of the horses wearing them ? Does anyone know ,?

    possible reason for a good performance.

    Why do racehorses wear nosebands?
    They are used to prevent a horse from crossing its jaw.
    They can also allow a horse to relax and settle its tongue allowing them to breathe better.
    They consist of a noseband crossed over the nose, and underneath a small piece of sheepskin.

    Are nosebands declared, all the above mentioned Headgear by the Rt Hon from the RP don't mention nosebands

    Just watched the 5:00 two nosebanded runners, checked 4 racecard sites none had them declared.
