    Finding winners

    in At The Races - Racing Forum

    Posted

    Interesting thread, looking at your recent impressive results what you are doing is obviously working for you.

    Personally I am not looking for winners but rather what is good value.

    That is why one of my main criteria is badly drawn horses, they tend to offer good value. Also the form of horses that were badly drawn last time might look worse than it actually was.

    Some of my other criteria include :-

    Ignore horses that are wearing headgear, it's maybe a sign that they are unreliable.

    Ignore horses that are carrying a lot of weight, these may have been raised to a level where it is difficult for them to win.

    I prefer horses running over a shorter distance than the last run.

    I don't like horses that won last time.

    I do like horses that have had a recent run (less than 9 days ago). I don't like horses that ran 9 to 15 days ago.

    I don't like CD winners.

    I prefer females to males (horses not jockeys!).

    I prefer horses 5 or younger.

    I don't like 7lb claimers.

    I don't like beaten favourites.

    I don't like betting at 25/1 or above.

    The criteria may vary depending on the race conditions that I am looking at.
