    Have to agree with EC. Unless there is a particular reason why a trainer or jockey is doing well or badly at a certain track, then these ‘trends’ are nothing more than statistical coincidence.

    Hagger, sorry it’s taken me so long to reply to your question, I’ve been rather busy of late. My stuff is called Trend Horses but refers to patterns within horses’ form figures rather than trends associated with previous runnings of a race (although I do refer to such things). Today for example I’ve tipped Pango each-way because he hasn’t finished out of the frame at seven furlongs since October 2001. I was also on Boundless Prospect each-way in the first at Newmarket. He has lost all 27 starts in fields of 14 or less but has won 5 from 12 in fields of 15 or more runners. Throw in his need for a straight track and he had five wins and a close third to his name from seven starts under the conditions he faced today – all bets proofed in advance to Rory, Chompy Draw Boy and my Dad :)

    Possibly all racing is
    a statistical coincidence.
    Go on repeat it just like

    you gotta get value

    yeah..

    all racing is
    a statistical coincidence

    One reason might be that
    the trainer lives down
    the road and the horses
    racing are fresh as daisies
    and can see their mates :mrgreen:
    on the gallop laughing
    like whores at them when
    they are running in last
    or doing a Carvills 8)
    this will give them a
    lot more lung at the finish.

    Shouldn’t this be in
    the systems section
    come on sloppy admin
    a free site still

    demands

    standards
    where’s the janitor :mrgreen:

    It is a great system but backing your own selections not blind stabs in the dark you also need to walk away before bet number 7 unless the ol man takes his balaclava to the bank and asks for a free refill.

    Wonder where Seagull is now, sitting in the bus shelter with a bottle of cider?

    I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
    I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highways

    Years ago I tried my hand at compiling speed ratings I had some success but I also missed a lot of winners because I went by my ratings rather than my feelings. After this I tried my hand at handicap ratings same as above. Now I have a little system which I can do quick and I am having sucess with and it also allows me to go with my feelings so I am enjoying my racing again. So I would say systems are no good because they stifle a person. :mrgreen:

    Often when I eat cheese
    and I shouldn’t after krone
    I wake up in a sweat n
    I know I have had that
    old Psycho dream again
    where Seagull is sitting
    there with has his teeth out
    and I look at him and
    blink twice and then
    that awful realisation
    he is none other than
    that scratchy old man
    with his pockets full
    of fivers :shock:
