jcosgrove notebook / horses to follow - Flat 2008..

[jcosgrove]

I have been a member of the forum for a while but am a really big jumps fan and tend to leave the summer racing alone. I have decided to get involved in the flat this year and am actually quite enjoying it. I have been keeping a notebook of horses I have been impressed with. I have been sky + the racing everyday and watching it a few times to see if i can see anything that stands out. I have also been keeping a spreadsheet of impressive times clocked and following them. Before I put this up I have done a small sample which is not doing too bad. I have created this thread as I struggle to discipline myself and I am trying to use this thread to discipline myself Each selection will be either 0.5pt e/w or 1pt win I have 2 sections, my notebook is horses i have picked out and horses to follow would be those who I feel have clocked good times. Wish me good luck!!!!!!!!!
