Going over horses a century ago, every-day horses, claimers, platers, etc, and so many are locked.
Supposedly, "great" horses with "great" wins like the Derby and Preakness were the ones that would automatically be locked.
Sometimes, the truly great horses ARE NOT locked, which is OK with me, as sometimes hardly any info on them is offered.
But then, I run across almost daily some nobody horse that is locked. Mysteriously. Without much, if any, info on them. And highly, highly annoying.
Again, these are horses long gone, so the argument that someone will be offended or sold short because it's THEIR horse getting bad info, is specious.
Sure would be nice, also, if we had a flag BEFORE writing alot on a locked horse! The flag never comes until you're ready to update info! Also highly annoying. Timing of the flag message is all wrong.

Re: Too many horses locked
Another one that really bugs me:
JUNE BUG, 1915.
Why is she even locked?
Irritating because the locked info states that she is unraced, but clearly in 1918 DRF she has at least 10 races to her credit in the past performances for Saratoga, and she was once ridden by Clarence Kummer (HOF).
Wrong info like that needs to be altered - it is shameful a horse is called "unraced" when she WAS.
Ridiculous otherwise that a "no-account" horse like this should be locked.

Re: Too many horses locked
2025 Champion 2-year old Super Corredora is locked, with her coat color not noted and un-updateable. What in the name of Mother Dixie is that about? I've got her color from BRIS pedigree lookup and it's bay.
Yeesh.
