Split second ken hussey by far the best speed figures in the business I wonder what he would make of today when they are near impossible on the flat with now changing distances of the races daily and a lot of this correction are just pure guess work like rail moved out 5 yds added 72 yds to race distance pure guess work now
In the old days they couldent move the concrete posts a few yards out lol As for mordin just thought he made you think but most of his ideas were of no use but a good read and that's what a journalist tries to do methodmaker was good |

Mordin wrote in his book, Betting For A Living that you should ignore weight.
He devoted a chapter to it and supplied figures that backed up his argument. Yet his first set of figures were for winners defying extra weight against horses they had previously beaten. Which is to be expected, because if a horse beats another horse a length, it doesn't mean that the horse wasn't capable of beating it further. |

Mordin said he packed up betting for a living, after finding that hammering up and down the motorways visiting tracks day after day wasn't for him. When part of his plan was to observe the livestock in the parade ring.
He's got a point. |

Read betting for a living when I was a teenage fledgling gambler (with 0 idea for horse racing) - it's essentially a great read in terms of the philosophy and doctrine of 'betting for a living' rather than a rule book to find winners.
Still go back to it at times, there's some great sections to read over, and it reminds you that you have to keep adapting to keep winning in this game. Nothing stands still forever. |

but as someone said earlier in this post, at times there's a little forgotten nugget in his methods that actually still applies to a race today if you dig deep enough...

Mordin went to live in America around 20 years ago - in a suburb outside of New York
Due to his leaning towards American racing, and their vastly over-rated Speed Figures system/methodology the pull of America could not be resisted. He continued to follow British and French racing via Big Race Videos and the like - Timing them himself from those Videos and compiling his NON-Weight adjusted 'Speed Ratings' from the same.... and that was it. Never a proper serious FORM Student in the finer term, he merely being a Speed Figures absolute devotee - same as Willoughby and Simon Rowlands - is it any wonder that he had his Willoughby type 'off the wall' MOMENTS. But how often do such 'MOMENTS' pass the longevity test? |

speed figures are more useful on dirt than they are on turf due to surface consistency, plus the US have sectional times which you need to upgrade/downgrade final time figures
southwell a/w they are useful particularly if you have accurate split data |

horses drawn in car parks
jockeys giving the outside to no one jockeys who couldn't beat an egg jockeys who cant remove a hood never been so easy to lay horses due to exchanges so once you find a race where everyone,s running on its merits,with the right ground,right mark in a truely run race you can fight it out with willo and mordin as to who,s got 2lbs 7 ounces in hand,and hope the horse gets out of bed on the right side, and the jock weighs in,  ,think mon mone finished mordin off winning national |

Mordin was the author of several influential books on horse racing, including "Winning Without Thinking: A Guide to Horse Race Betting Systems," "Betting for a Living: Nick Mordin's Winning Strategies," and "The Winning Look at Big Race Horses." These books are still considered essential reading for serious horse racing enthusiasts. Mordin passed away in 2012 at the age of 56, but his contributions to the field of horse racing analysis and betting continue to be remembered and respected by racing fans and professionals alike. |

Does ChatGPT have any evidence for Mordin's demise or is it just making stuff up, as allegedly it is prone to do?
Let's see. Nick Mordin was still writing for the Weekender and Irish Field in 2013 and Ouija Board won the Oaks in 2004, so... |
