Surely there is an absolute fortune to be made from inside info.
By inside info, I don't mean hush hush stuff, I mean what's not in the formguide.
If a trainer knows his horse has no chance of running in the first four, surely any lay price is acceptable?
If we know that a horse is coming back from injury / illness, has missed trackwork, is untractable in running, cannot win on a Heavy track etc etc.
There is a fortune to be made - BUT you must KNOW this to be the case, not speculate, because all it takes is one or two bad calls to bring it all undone, especially at decent odds.
My next project is Harness horses that break in running. I'm not sure, but I believe it's only during score up to the mobile or standing start, if they break they get stood down pending trial.
I have a small list of reknown breakers compiled already, when they go around at short odds, that's the lay time.
