where can i get u.s racing form

drf.com

equibase.com

brisnet.com



brisnet.co.uk    is your best bet for free form I think

1% of handicappers are successful so dont bother

thanx jas cheers mate now for the hard bit picking favs to lay

thats not great stats stiglup,but some of the jockeys over there wouldnt get a job riding work in a top yard over here,they get into a driving finish 200 yards from the winning then put there whip down change hands and get beat by a head, or just lay all the selections from atr

Timeform / betfair "guides" are about as much of a guide as the morning line prices at Beulah

Absolute pish!!!!!

Granted there are some terrible jocks in the USA  but you usually find them at Charles,Turway,Mountieneer etc etc

The top jocks would wipe the floor with most of the jocks in the UK,dont know what the other guys think but ide say the Yankee racing is straighter.

I agree Mr Placepot.There is an epedemic of cheating in uk racing imo.

Probably because of the recession that the cheating is as bad as it is.

ask Frankie who the best jock he's ever ridden against is, 1.01 he'd say Jerry Bailey.  There are several great riders in U.K, too (Frankie, Moore, etc).  As far as cheating goes, unlike UK racing, U.S. racing is straight-forward.  There is little incentive not to try.  There is no handicap mark to lower, prize money is excellent.  The bottom level horses at Philly (horses rated around 55) race for 15K.  Top riders at lowly Philly can earn 500k per year.  Same goes for the trainers.  Owners can make good profits with cheap horses, too.  It's the pathetic prize money and the authoritarian handicapping system which make cheating a necessity for connections in the UK.

yes

backed the 6 g l all

Low class handicapping in the UK is set up for cheating especially  UK Flat racing.

Usually if a horse gets beat in USA  Its because the jockey was poor.

yep.  it's never my fault, either

thats why i was looking for the stats,because i would lay any short priced favorite as long as the jockey was`nt in the top five ,of the top jockeys list and the trainer was`nt in the top 8 simple because there is that much of a gulf of the top jocks and the rest,do you think i am on the right track or am i way of with my thinking
