re VDW's method, I think I posted a table showing how a VDW analysis is undertaken, using one of his examples, but I can't immediately find it, so I have re-screenshotted it and posted it on the class/form thread of the VDW section rather than disrupt this one, other than to point out it is a three stage process. Ranking the ability ratings (a wholly objective process), applying VDW's method of rating form status (equally objective, when one has worked out what it is) and checking for disqualifying negatives among the conditions issues (distance, going, course type and weight). The top horse in the ability column with a yes in the form status column and not a no in the conditions column is the VDW class/form horse, whether one is considering a race run thirty-eight years ago, yesterday or being run tomorrow.

Instead of posting a table from 40 years ago, why not post pre race like we all did yesterday. You seem to be frightened of joining in pre race on this thread.

Nothing to stop you laying out the race like yesterday, in exactly the same as you have on the Class/Form thread. We all lay out a summary chart pre race . What’s stopping you doing the same.

No point joining in with your thoughts in the York 2.40 after it has been run, if you did not contribute pre race
 
That is a bit rich, coming from someone who does that nearly all the time. Put up an assortment of data without a clear conclusion and then, after the race, a copy or extract from a post you may, or may not, have posted elsewhere - but only of course if the result bears some relationship to that post.

But all the races that I post have been made on the Blog Pre Race with a conclusion and Richard Dymond Richard Dymond arkle55 arkle55 doomster doomster can confirm that. I don’t post the conclusion on this thread as I don’t want Lurkers getting a free ride.

so jog on you aftertimer
