Inside Quarter

Pitmatic

Colt
As discussed elsewhere, I'll put up all of the form for the race that Inside Quarter won on 16th April 1979.

As before, I'll do so on a nightly basis - horse by horse.

Tonight I'll put up the race in question, and will then follow on with each horses individual form (for their proceeding 3 races).

(edited as space to post when creating a thread is not as wide as normal posting / reply box - not able to get form all onto one line)!!!!!!!

Ok Thanks Alot Pitmatic Pitmatic i will do the form on this shortly, i will just show any interested how i would approach this race, rather than show where vdw faults lay.

Although i rarely back in 3yo race unless on my system bets, because most times it is hard gauge the possible improvement of each horse, and also a lack of history for any true form angles i find.

All the best, Paul.
 
Hi All! I will add a little each day like Pitmatic Pitmatic has, i will just deal with the first six in the betting for the race also.

So first the course was very stiff on my ratings, plus was over 7f and on soft ground, and in my old form book heavy assessed on time, and the race was a h'cap for 3yolds.

So first looking at Inside Quarter form over the past year. He did not come to hand first run, but did finish 3rd which is fairly good form, now looking further on at his last three runs combind with the form figures and them being 161. So then i would look to see what happened when he was placed 6th for a guide to may be todays race, and would see was in the soft going which would be a minus for start, and also it appears he likes the good ground best because both of his latest wins were on good ground, for a plus he had won over the 7f, but was on good ground on an easy track, so would be a semi plus depending on the other runners.

Will evalulate March Spark next, remember is my way reading the form of a race in an objective way i call it.

All the best, Paul.
