Vince Accardi is a MYTH

I'm sure you can work it out spoon man

More like Jim 28.8 fitness %

Seems like a nice bloke but apparently didn't have much luck selling his tips

ffs are you a chinaman

no a mythbuster

forget it you would need to know form to form your own opinion on the bloke
see ya going out for dinner

Elephant, are you a racenet supporter? As you have potted Pollett and Accardi

Good to see ure still kickin, Very.

Well I don't know how any of them go  but after a few watches lately, I have a confession.......

I have a man-crush on.................Glen Pollett

I do use racenet form guides that's about it

i watched a VA video a year or so back ... and as i remember he used to use the race replays to firstly time races and secondly record sectionals for each horse

doing this he says he proved to himself that the race times announced by the race clubs were often innacurate (for whatever that is worth)

in regards to sectional times .. in australia ... they won't mean THAT much unless you also take into account the pace of the race (having been run and the race your horse is entered in in the future) ... as often it the jocks not the horses that are the important factor at the finish based on who was allowed to what and where during the early/middle stages of a race imo

unlike american racing ... where sectionals are far more important ... as they pretty much go lickety-split right from the jump over there ... with the winner often being the one that 'compounds the least' at the end of the races

so i note with interest ... from what i understand is the gist of this thread ... that VA is having as much difficulty predicting winners in australia (based on a horse's previous sectional times) as other punters using available form and personal observations

outside of group and listed racing in Oz it is quite difficult to predict who gets the 'run of the race' regardless of which horses have an advantage over the distance with the weight and with the fitness on their side ... so if you can predict race positioning better than average then your chances of profitability would be higher i guess

i always remember up here in qld the sectional guru Phil Purcer saying one day (years ago) that Phelan Ready as a 2yo produced one of the fastest sectionals he had seen ... but by Magic Millions day and at 50/1 he had not backed the horse when it won

personally i loved times & sectionals ... but since the big boys started working with the jocks about 20 years ago and taught them how to count past 10 ... that type of race assessment is as tricky as the rest of the plans

punting is ... as always .. a tough endeavour ... know your horse from video assessment and work to get it up at odds on another day ... which is sometimes far away lol

interesting thread

Spy the thread was intending to get a bite from you after i heard you were a supporter of the VA stuff?  Laugh

I'm not sure where you heard that from Elephant, I have never purchased a single product from the punters show or any other provider, so I apologise as I won't be biting. I am honoured though that you hold me in such high regard

All I got for free was the MYM for about 1 month as they asked me to have a look at it and post up my honest opinion on it, which I did.

I won't sell it to you because I'm worried you'll give your honest opinion ffs

So you don't use the reviews or maps?

What would make you think I did?

He gave you an inch and you took a mile ffs

can't remember

At least we finally got to what the "point" of the thread was
