1. A device for remotely measuring the relative readiness of a plurality of race horses for a race comprising:

  • an infrared sensor for remotely measuring a race horse'"'"'s temperature by sensing infrared radiation from the horse without contacting the horseand for taking at least three temperature measurements of the horses that are to be in a race prior to the race;

    a memory for storing all of the measured temperatures;

    an arithmetic operator for (a) correcting the stored temperature measurements for the distance from which the temperature measurements were made,and (b) determining for each of the horses from which temperature measurements have been taken, the maximum, minimum and mean corrected temperature measurements; and

    a display for displaying for each of the horses from which measurements have been made, all of the corrected measured temperatures, and the maximum, minimum and mean corrected temperature measurementsso that the displayed measurements can be visually compared to evaluate the horses'"'"' readiness for the race.
