Im a big fan of Old Guard, shame the ground has gone against him and has been muullered by the handicapper for winning just 2 races in his career. could easily be rated 135 if trained by a nobody.
Olifi appeals to me too, a different jockey is a massive positive too. |

By:
Not sure on the Olofi jockey booking myself, not the greatest record riding for George....beaten every time put up....11/8,11/4,12/1,20/1,7/1,20/1,11/4,8/1,7/2,25/1,40/1,7/2

On a separate note, I rarely listen to information much preferring old fashioned study but had a good word for Unowhatimeanharry 315 Cheltenham. Does look to have a strong chance too and been backed. Dont shoot the messenger....

Old Guard came in to 12/1 which at the off, would have given him a rating of 75% instead of 65% (as 12/1 was the 'cut-off' price for the last winners).
Price is not one of my favourite factors to include in the trends, as you can never know the outcome for certain for lots of horses until 'the off'. |

They've not really performed too well over the last weekend, but you can't win them all. I'll try and persist and see if a decent winner can be unearthed.
|

By:
not to bad at all
in timeform terms he had the winner needing to find 20lbs,cant wait to see one he gets completely wrong, things in his own words it was top 2 and devilment well clear of the field |
|
By:
It's highly likely I'll get something completely wrong in the very near future.

Joci your trend analysis is always a great read well done and as with trends sometimes they come right sometimes unseen variables come in to play
|
|
By:
Joci, Saying that the ratings were compromised by not knowing the SP is a bit like saying that jumping the last five lengths clear would have given him a rating of 98%. Almost all winners of valuable handicaps these days shorten up in the minutes before the off.

By:
sounds like an andy richmond theory,must be good some loons went short in running
|
|
By:
if starting price is a trend is that your tissue prices or bookmakers prices,surely that only helps in next years race

That's why SP is not one of my favourite trends as you can only know (virtually for sure) that some horses will qualify, and then use the latest available prices in the morning to try and finalise things. At the off, Old Guard would have qualified and it would have pushed him into 2nd highest rating....without hitting the 12/1 threshold, he would have been 4th highest rated. Doesn't make sense to some it seems, and I know it doesn't help people too much, but I'm just trying to clarify things. I'm not making any claims here remember, only trying to identify the most likely winners using the trends and provide updates as I see fit.
As many have said, trends in conjunction with form study, is a much better 'tool' for finding winners. |
