New Posts For Thread: BHA's stance on sectional timing.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/23897054/bhas-stance-on-sectional-timingI e-mailed them as to why British racing is scientifically marooned in the 1900's when it comes to timing racehorse performances. Here's the reply:Thank you for your email regarding sectional timings.I have discussed the subject with our Racecourse D"comments added by the jockeys & trainers themselves."-------------------------------------------------------------------Is the flaw in your theory, feck. ...Unless, of course, we all bet to the opposite of what they said - especially the mostly dimhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/23897054/bhas-stance-on-sectional-timing?post_id=430743730#430743730"comments added by the jockeys & trainers themselves."-------------------------------------------------------------------Is the flaw in your theory, feck. ...Unless, of course, we all bet to the opposite of what they said - especially the mostly dimMon, 26 Apr 2010 10:48:18 -0500How many people pay for horserace databases? The BHA could have their own formbook with unique sectionals, short comments in running generated automatically by the trakus data with additional comments added by the jockeys & trainers themselves.

I avoid the turf racing now as much as I can, and concentrate on the sand.
