1- First look at class of race.
2- Check if any horses have won in that class
3-Check which horses are on top of their form
4-Look for good recent form
Served me in good stead for many years and still get the same buzz each day long may it continue.For me the No 1 way to knock out runners Leither. Looking back (as I did) to the first day of Glorious Goodwood I could have found 4 winners in all the Class 2 races following your plan. A good break of 20-40 days since last ran also seemed to help. Honest, in all class 2 races the field was wittled down to at the most 4 horses to select and on that day contained the winner at pretty good odds to.
You dont even need to go thru the RP, It was all there on the race card of the Daily Mirror.
However having noted this
for the first time
after time and doing the same for Wednesday and Thursday at Goodwood it failed miserably. You gotta look out for the progressive horses I guess and thats where it becomes less of a science and more gut feeling. But on the whole Leither this is a pretty good form read to base your winners on.
Also on the same scheme never ever ever rule out Group One winners dropping into handicap or Class 2 and 3 in both codes even if that Group One win was three or four years ago. For Racing Post balance you wont find that form in the Mirror though!
Sorry Specialist, a good winner with Morticia but reckon we should be neck and neck on winning selections to prices
You playing the old club tie rules here?
First day I’m mid table 3 pts in front of Cheltenham Specialist, second day I’ve picked three winners and a 8/1 third yet (nothing personal ur just an easy example) Cheltenham Specialist who’s not tipped anything up second day leaps above me and I’ve slipped off the radar.
Strange Days.

I cba to sit here on a Friday night and tell you all what my plans are for a Saturday. My point is public training runsI never got into racing till about the mid 80’s when by then I’d got familiar and knew which horses to follow and when and also admire those that had turned over my selection!
My first recollection was of the Seventies though and in one week I remember accompanying a school pal up to the bookies at lunch time. I didnt go in cos I looked younger than 15 but the other lad looked older and got his bets on
I asked which horses he was going to back and he answered Night Nurse , Sea Pigeon and Wayward Lad. They meant nothing to me at the time but now realised that week must have been a mid seventies Cheltenham for those horses all to have been out on a mid week day.
The last box on the Mark Johnston stable tour on Good Friday had the horse looking out and the lad standing at the stable door.
The horses name on the stable door (before you opened the bar gate to leave the stable)….. Hadawayunsheyite
Hahahhahhah absolutley class. I’m sure its not in training. A hack with another name entirely no doubt.
Someone ran a horse called Wearthefoxhat on a maiden until it was involved in a finish on the race commentary,
The owner was made to change it straight away by the Jockey club for its next outing
I quietley fancied the old fella to do something watching the race yesterday on Sky+.
That would have been going back to my sentimental days where some might call it mug punting but on some not wholly unrare occasions these inklings come up trumpts.Wishing War of Attitions connections and the horse itself a long and happy retirement.
either refund your stake or add 1 or 2 points to its starting price for the extra gamble that this creature does things his own way sometimes! But thats not going to happen.
