Yes please! Need a laugh right now.

had one earlier thanks to u
Free money on Apache, shirley, as odds against in dead heat and result should stand. |

Willoughby could make boiling an egg sound like splitting the atom.
I miss him on RTV as he was a source of profitability if you took the opposite view |

Bit harsh howard?

He is having a pause and will come back refreshed

This one is an attempt at a tour de force in mathematics,loper

It's one thing understanding the Maths, which isn't too hard, quite another putting it into practice. It struck me as a latter day derivative of Clive Holt's Fineform Formula. Quantify the variables with a points system to arrive at a fair price and compare the market, but using algorithms to fine tune the accuracy. Need a strong coffee before I get started tomorrow morning!

For once I concur with Aceform and I refuse to post the article

It’s all about stride length,a horse that has a big stride invariably beats one with a shorter stride.

I once remember James climbing under a studio table and devouring a full pizza that they had got delivered to the studio on a mundane winter evening AW meeting.
I generally found him entertaining and insightful. Is he back on the scene? |
|
By:
Regretably,no.
He was a licence to print if opposing his views |

Thing is these mathematicians have to keep finding liquid markets full of mug money or at least plenty of it. Then other mathematicians join in and there's very little left if anything. There's no easy way. You have to watch all the races all the horses and lay short or back big. There is no way to be lazy long term.

How does an algorithm predict a "not off"?

Ive been lazy long term

Listening to Willoughby could at times be painful and 'awkward', such as when he was doing his brains on the American racing, or the constant sniping at jump racing when he was on a channel whose business it was to promote the sport, but generally I thought he spoke a lot of sense, and some of his 'catchphrases' are still used years later eg magic carrots / golden highway.

By:
"Golden Highway"??
He was the fool that thought one of Johnston's 2YO's was the next coming when it had been the recipient of such circumstances at Newmarket. It began with a V and proved to be a cash cow to those of us who thought otherwise. I don't think the wretched creature won another race |
|
By:
Hard to post because of the mathematical symbols and tables.
|
|
By:
He got that one wrong, uptheirons, but at the same course, for example, he'd made similar comments about Kingman after he had won on debut. He got that one right.
He wasn't guessing the V one, he based his views on what the clock had told him, so he was giving a genuine opinion. |
|
By:
He wasn't guessing about the V one

|
By:
Btw, 1st time poster will be on later to remind us about Gladiatorus or whatever it was called
|
|
By:
I also got kingman right
me and Willow were the only 2 that did |
|
By:
That thing was full of the best gear, widely available in Dobuy at the time
|
|
By:
A "misguided"opinion,George.
He did his gonads punting,full stop. |
|
By:
He was also an arrogant pig towards RTV Staff

I also got kingman right me and Willow were the only 2 that did Thanks for your sarcasm, I don't think Willo eulogised about 2YOs winning on debut liberally, but people evidently only remember the ones he got wrong, but he got Kingman spectacularly right. Busyfool 19 Jan 26 18:43 That thing was full of the best gear, widely available in Dobuy at the time Willo might reply: don't you mean "magic carrots"? |
|
By:
Regarding the 'V' horse, my recollection of it was Willo was impressed by it relative to the older horse race times on the card.
But it is also my recollection that the V horse had raced hard up against the rail, whereas in the other races they did not. |
|
By:
I remember him coming on the forum and lecturing everyone……
Never returned…. Forum name was James Willoughby…… |
|
By:
Iirc 'ace. he had a 'feud' with 'naps champ', which he drew a line in the sand over.
|
|
By:
Not sure how a line drawn can be over anything
Drawing a line in the sand is a challenge, not an armistice I didnt mind him at all, he had plenty to say and he was miles in front of the goons they have now Ironlady hates everyone, not just Willow |
|
By:
I rarely hate anybody,busy.
Willo is a chancer with many lunatic ideas |
|
By:
Visinari did win one more race. In Oz.
|
|
By:
Thanks,Cider.
|
|
By:
yes GEORGE the days when willo and THE CAPTAIN took everything that happened in dubia transferred to uk flat racing, the other hotse was hawkwing,both never won another race between after willo/the captain told us they,d be winning every race,boat race,fa cup final and super bowl between them
 |
|
By:
No posting of the profound article yet?
|
|
By:
GLADITORIOUS ,they had it winning the QUEEN ANNE by 10 lengths anything odds against was stealing money on the back of winning a hounds race in the dubia camel racing, NEVER TROUBLED THE JUDGE AGAIN
|
|
By:
And fair play to the RP, they're still using Willo's pic from those days.
