ABSTRACT:
A device for evaluating a plurality of race horses' readiness for a race by quantitatively assessing the horses' temperatures without contacting the horses, the evaluation being made prior to the race when the race horses may be viewed in a paddock area. The device may include an infrared sensor for measuring the horses' temperatures at least three times in a random sampling period, an arithmetic operator for calculating characteristics of those measurements such as the maximum, minimum and mean, and various differences among the measured temperatures, and a display for providing a visual comparison of the measured and calculated values. The device may also correct the measured temperatures for the distance from which temperature measurements were taken.
