Distances less than 1100m are among the no-no races like maidens and jumps etc. due to too much importance related to the start. In a 1200m [or even 1150m] a horse slowly away still has some chance but rarely in a 1000m or heaven forbid 900m race. Other races I would put in the above catagory would be Cups and a lot of the big Stakes races [too many chances], fillies and mares [hormones can have odd affects here but mares alone are ok] transitional [city horses going down meet county cousins going up etc.] and classes 1/2 are dodgy quality also. Punters may dispute some of these choices but for my records they are a dead loss regardless of the odd winner [such as Educated Money ...well done].

We have so many races going on why settle for rubbish races ? I think the goals should be long term profit not short term glory.

Cheers.
