    Good Evening

    Just joined and a beginner on horses.

    Against the horse history when betting, I can see something like this….

    Form
    Elusive Ivy
    241045- C1 D1 CD1

    What does “C1” and “D1” and “CD1” mean please? I think “C” means Course and “D” means Distance. Are they also reflecting the form positions somehow, maybe that the horse came first on this course and distance 4 starts ago?

    Welcome to the forum, I’m not a betting expert so someone better qualified will give a better answer soon. But:

    C = Previous winner over this course (but at different distance)
    D = Previous win over this distance (but at a different course)
    CD = Previous win over this course and distance (at the same time)

    I guess the 1’s mean one such event. Assuming this is Elusive Ivy’s entry in tomorrow’s Punchestown race, really it’s just CD1. She’s won on previous event which was over the exact course and distance (9 Jan). The other two wins are irrelevant as both at different courses and distances.
