'Represents the very much in-form Linda Perratt yard'

they make it up as they go along

Someone once said on ATR that Meehan was flying: 1 winner from 25 runners

is any trainer out of form?

Those figures Duncan could quite easily represent a trainer in good form

Sir Mark Prescott would be proud of them figures.

I backed Rock Canyon in the 4.30pm and hadn't checked any results before looking on here, seeing this thread at the top of the page gave me some hope.......It turns out it was false hope, so thank you Dunc!!!

hard to interpret 4 lasts as being in good form whichever way you slice it

sorry s kenbo...posted before race..decent run tho

olias, the next time you find a trainer with similar form figs that is 'very much in-form' (ie to be noteworthy) let me know...and i'll start Place laying them!

favourite saying of alot of the racing tv pundits.all these trainers must find this job an easy one never out of form. i wish one of them would just say the horses are running like a bag of shiite.another annoying one is interviewing jockeys and saying your mount must have a good chance even though its been beat 102 length in its last start

The form of Linda Perratt's last  12 runners is a word

I'm still waiting for form figures that read P1SS 0FF.

Its possible that the last 4 L's if meaning last are not really that bad. For example what if the horse was last in the betting in all 4 cases. What if its was last in 4 races but not beaten very far in 4 very tightly run races. What if they ran fast from the front in a contested lead. The other important questio0n here is do we really want to be backing horses that are considered 'in form' by conventional means

You are trying to defend the indefensible - Olias

She is just a 'dart-thrower' who gets lucky one in a blue moon.

Just like her make counterpart - with the incomprehensible accent - who, for some unfathomable reason, the racing channels keep interviewing - thus putting us through the purgatory.

I am not even referring to Perret I am simply talking about those figures and how meaningless they can be regardless of who is behind them

Would that be Amanda or Mark "Perret" (sic) - Olias.

- sorry - couldn't resist. 

ffs Olias, even Brian Rothwell would blush at those figures 

good man duncan, about time someone tracked where 1yallbeenw4's selections finished...!

I would blush if I quoted those figures

as i say, come back to me the very next time you see a trainer with the same figures that can be called 'VERY MUCH IN FORM'...i wont hold my breath

YOUR POINT IS?

My point is that you have to look beyond the raw figures and when you have you then have to decide whether it is better to back trainers that appear to be out of form or those bang in form according to whatever method of measurement you have used.
