13/12/2002 edition Make Winning Bets Using Profit through an expert knowledge of individual
horses Form Patterns Does the horse exhibit good form prior to its wins? Or....Does it have a habit of turning a failure in one run into a win the next? When racing in the right conditions, how consistent is the horse? Trainer Patterns Try to put yourself in the mind of the trainer. Examine the spacing between runs, jockey engagements, as well as class and distance changes from one run to the next. Does this tell you anything about the horse? Does the trainer appear to follow a pattern with the horse from one preparation to the next? Trainers are creatures of habit and if they can find a winning pattern with a horse they will usually stick with it. Jockey Does the horse have a regular jockey? Does the horse seem to go well when a particular jockey is engaged? Gear Does the horse usually race in additional gear such as blinkers? Other Characteristics Are there any other positive traits the horse has, e.g. a sharp burst of acceleration or signs of courage? Are there any negative habits the horse displays, e.g. hanging in or out under pressure, overracing, slowness out of the barriers? If you attend the track and can see the horse prior to racing, how does it usually look? Is it relaxed and alert, or fractious? Are there any patterns in how the horse looks pre-race to how it performs? Many of these points require subjective judgement and this
is where a bit of your own racing know-how should come into play. In some
cases you may not have enough information to make an accurate decision
and that’s okay. The key is to develop the areas you can right now and
to be aware of those you need to learn more about. This edition of Punt to Win: Back Tote Longshots?
