Looking at racing information form etc

[gingerzola]

Can anyone give any indication of where I can find out info on a particular horses racing style, as I hate watching a horse I've backed tearing away only to run outr of steam at the death!

Also, when reading through this part of the forum, I saw that LLAAYYSS has a spreadsheet that details course types, etc. If anyone could forward this to me I would be very grateful.

I did try to PM, but as i'm a new member I'm a social leper til my checks have cleared!

fommytarr@hotmail.com if anyone would be so kind

Feel free to drop any other useful info that may be of use.

Cheers

There are plenty of places to fing a horses running style , but usually you have to pay for them, not many do it for free i dont think. good luck son.

You certainly dont have to pay to find a horses running style, its all there in the form if you take the time to read through it.

The racing post has results of every race a horse has participated ion, and if you look at the comments in running you can judge for yourself the style in which they run.

Always good to add to the knowledge bank anytime I can!

You couldn't shed any light on the jockeys claiming weight can you anyone, as this still confuses me a little (along with handicapping in general, though i'm slowly getting there!)

Thanks for any help

Hi wiseman

Yes the RP is probably the easiest way. take the 3:40 at Bath today Merry Madcap was 2nd last time out. Click on the horse in the race card and it brings up all the previous runs of the horse as follows:-

[wiseman33]

hi is there anyway to find out how a race was run,as i have heard it said that if so and so doesnt get a fast pace it will struggle to win.is it all in the comments in running ie do you have to read all the horses comments in the said race to try to understand how it was run.or is there an explanation on any sites.hope my question is clear.thanks in advance

[edmondsj]

Does anybody know how a standard time for a distance is produced?

thanks for any help

[nedster]

In this day and age does any-body agree that a horses actual weight should be displayed in form guide ? I mean it would'nt take much to put in form guide horses optimum weight/ actual weight then us punters would have more of an idea if horse is fit , or in need of a run . Every little helps and i feel this could .
