to zorro , testarosso and luckyboy , thanks for taking the time to offer your thoughts .

zorro - i also like to make my own decisions on a topic

testarossa - interesting , i'll be looking at that idea over the next couple of weeks

luckyboy - there the types of references i use at the moment , also the wizard form guide but as i said can be a bit vague

does anyone go to the trouble of using sectionals and a database to work out horses potential to cover the 1st 100 or 200m , and then there ability to cruise at a speed .

c'mon guys/girls , post your thoughts , i've been learning as much as i can over the past 12 months on horseracing and am very much a beginner at this . i won't laugh at you and if anyone else did it's there loss as it reflects on their stupidity for being on a forum and then make fun of what forums are for , the sharing of ideas .

HOW DO PEOPLE APPROACH PACE/SPEED IN RACE HANDICAPPING ?
