Question Just a little of the topic...

as for the right nags, they tend to pick themselves in such a race.

Just as an aside to Dutching in certain fields, what criteria do you use to judge a race as a "good betting" race where yor betting the WIN or E/Way for arguments sake?

You always hear (and see on posts) people saying this race is a GOOD betting race or that was a BAD race to have a bet on etc....

I would imagine some of the criteria would be:
  • Class
  • Number of Runners
  • Number of First Starters/Resumers
Just wondering as I don't really analyse a race on a "good/bad betting race" basis, I try and find a horse I think (IMHO) will win the race - I don't really discount - say Maidens, races with more than 3 resumers/first starters etc... perhaps I could incorporate this thinking into my assessments.....

Thanks In Advance
