My dubious memory.What forecast? Not me....... Dubious Affair was 4th.
What's HRB ?You should have used HRB that would do it.
Thought you had predicted the goingWhat frigging forecast!!?? It was a Holland....
Whilst I believe in the sentiment of this statement I do think it is slightly misguided. To explain, even if you have the latest going report all it is is somebody else's opinion, all the backform is somebody else's opinion, what is the truth?, answer is we don't know. I do think that this view actually covers most form reading but if obviously does not stop some of you from doing a good job as regards deciphering it. I'll just put one more thought out there as regards this, how well would you form readers do if you had to use a different supplier. I prefer to stick to the numbers that I produce it just take away any element of doubt.I still believe that the ground conditions are the single most important factor when analysing form,

horseracebaseWhat's HRB ?
I think its fair comment to conclude that the going stick has failed, several times i have seen courses report " No stick reading available, stick is broken " you do not keep a spare. ??? The official going we are often informed that The Clerk of the course is walking the track to determine the going and i think surely this should be done off the judgement of the often far more experienced Groundsmen.Whilst I believe in the sentiment of this statement I do think it is slightly misguided.

Is he indeed ? Might have been a bit pist .He is now claiming this would have happened given the right Tool.
Yes - had I had the use of the appropriate stick to go prodding with...He is now claiming this would have happened given the right Tool.
The basic thinking is when A and B have never met but both have previously run against C then this can be used to judge. The theory is sound but as ever there are frequently additional complications involved.Collateral Form ?
We hear the term many times but i wonder if we all have the same understanding of what we mean
Well there you go mick i've been using it in the wrong way.The basic thinking is when A and B have never met but both have previously run against C then this can be used to judge. The theory is sound but as ever there are frequently additional complications involved.
I see plenty of punters dismissing pounds and lengths which is fair enough, but i am not one because its amazing how often (given simular circumstances) that they do work out, and when you think in terms of big horses with little men on top charging around often muddy fields then perhaps there is no way they should. !
