Xtc12 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Don't think I have ever done a flat system so I am going to give this a go.This will be based on something I came across a while back on the success of trainers at certain tracks in certain races. I will be hoping to have a strike rate of over 35% with the best results coming in apprentice races and 4yo + handicaps. Going to keep it to level stakes and may the gods be with me. Nothing today, possibility of 1 tomorrow. yossa6133 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trotter Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Good luck xtc I think I might jump straight into the Turf flat racing now though from memory I think we get a couple of weeks after Donny when there isn't much action ……. it's a false start to the new season !

Xtc12 Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 All the best to you Trotter ... not really a lover of the flat but this may keep me interested. Shareef Star 16.20 Doncaster 1 Pt Win @ 7\2 Bet365 (bog) Better with each start in maidens last summer. Top yard perseveres and highly likely there's more to come.

MCLARKE Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I seem to recall reading somewhere that, contrary to popular belief, horses do not perform better on their 1st run after being gelded. Does anybody have any data to prove / disprove this? I don't think I'd be very co-operative if someone had done this to me ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
