Well, all I can say for certain is DO NOT TRY AND ALIGN UK STATS WITH RACING IN AUSTRALIA, b4 I lost all my cash on UK racing and now I lose all my cash on Australian racing "THAT" is where the similarality ends!!
Just walk out on an English racecourse and you will know immediately, the underfoot conditions bear no resemblance.

Sorry about the negatives there but I strongly suspect that many of the "successfull" personalities on this this site are related to "Walter"
