Southwell(AW) USA System

[Cowan]

I will post up selections from this system which I am going to be backing for the first time this season. Hopefully I'll have them up the night before so that the best prices can be had - although it is profitable to SP. Past Performance Since 2003 Bets: 924 Wins: 170 SR: 18% Profit (SP): +467pts System Reasoning *I have no evidence for any of the following. I have accumulated these tidbits from various discussions and many people taken it to be true. Southwell(AW) is the only racecourse in the UK which has a Fibresand surface. This material causes kickback - literally sand which is kicked back by the horses as they race - which gets in the face and eyes of those following close behind. Needless to say this puts alot of animals off if the caught in behind. The surface is also slippery when compared to other race surfaces so it favours a horse who builds up to a topspeed and sustains it, rather than one which changes its speed such as a hold-up horse making a late run. The surface allows horses to race 1 furlong beyond what they normally would. A horse who does best at 6f everywhere else can race at 7f here no problem. Conclusion These factors allow USA bred horses to do well here. The quarter horses in America races over very short distances of 2f to 4f at speeds greater than our thoroughbreds. This bloodline has been interbred with thoroughbreds to produce horses who are quick, but low on stamina. Southwell helps these horses with its surface, which is alot like the dirt these horses would race on in the States.
