The AJC give brilliant sectional and finish split times at http://www.ajc.org.au/cgi-bin/racing.cgi

Does anyone know of other sites offering this "free" information.?????

Very impressive. I don't know of any but I'll certainly be looking for them.
Thanks for pointing these out.

Yer welcome :smile:))

Here you go:

Same format but includes melbourne and a few others as well.
Have to register, but it's free.

Well done...It's a great site.
It's a pity that Kenchar has been driven from this forum by that inconsequential twit.I'm sure that "the nose" would have fun with these...

Sydney Turf Club do the same and have for a bit longer than AJC. Found that AJC miss days every now and then but its helpful free information.

punter pete, tried to sign up for that one, without success, did you have any problems with it?

Kenny Victor, tried to register there as well, but wont allow, any ideas??

Did you have your cookies enabled?
(Accept first party cookies, at least!)
I had no problem registering, but I don't know what use the "sectionals" are?
As far as I can see it all depends on the barrier draw and the jockey, so no two races will produce the same sectionals! I may be wrong of course, have been many time before.
Any enlightement re sect. would be appreciated
Cheers

As this is not a commercial forum,just a place for sharing between friends I may get away with reproducing this article.




Sectional times are really the key to successful punting today. Whilst that is a well known fact - most punters cannot understand properly the science of reading them or simply don't have enough time to research any given days racing to work it all out.

Brisbane's biggest bookmaker Brian Ogilvie, when interviewed recently by Wayne Wilson on Radio TAB said the best professional punter he'd seen was Frank Scarborough who'd been the first one to properly master sectional times thus giving himself an edge over both fellow punters and bookmakers.

I say bookmakers put up "false favourites" every day of the week or bet insanely short prices about horses that are ready to get beaten. Bookmakers have only two things in their favour to beat punters and stay in business and they are;
the many variables of racing and
punters who are ill informed and yet between a) and b) many bookmakers are very wealthy.
Why? Well not many of us can do much about (a) - the variables which we all know like bad barriers, horses being trained too hard or not trained hard enough coming into a race by their trainers, undiagnosed soreness (particularly of shins and joints) prior to the race, poor rides, horse feeling off colour but they can't talk etc.

We can however, I've always thought do something about (b) great golfers, swimmers or footballers practise all the time - and mastering an understanding of sectional times requires a lot of time and years of practise - so most people couldn't be bothered.

A search on your "Google" will reveal more details on sectionals from some very talented and well informed individuals.

For me,, Its all a part of this fascinating jig-saw puzzle we are trying to put together.

There have been a number of comments in this forum about information overload,and to a degree I must concur.

Albeit,it's an individual choice.I like to analyse the past to see the future.I wish that I could see more than 29% of it. lololol

Good luck,,good punting...

Partypooper:
No need to register - Go to link
http://www.stc.com.au/racing1.asp
scroll down to Results (inc. Sectional Times) on page and click on the day you want. At the top of each result page there is another link to all sectionals for the day. (Cant 16/11 not yet available but rest are there)
Hope this helps

so in laymen’s terms how do you apply sectionals when assessing form and what makes some better than others??

Mate, sportscolour won't take you, the STC don't want you, they must know something about you we don't :smile:

No, I had no trouble. Just got straight on.
