Nearly all systems on here start with the obligatory M, S, B, A BUT NOT country tracks ..... WHY? There's as big a difference between the quality of Metro summer racing and the Spring Carnival as there is between the quality of Metro summer racing and country tracks.

Barny,
Thats a form rule. You are looking at better quality (thus form and class). Everything falls back to class and/or form.
I think what you are trying to compare is Horse specific data vs non-horse specific data ? Otherwise I have no idea what a non-form thing is.
Barrier = form,
Track = form
Trainers = form
jockeys = form
time of year = form
temperature = form
fitness = form
class= form
Everything comes back to how a horse will run in todays race which is its form.
Just asking as I would love to know at least one non-form factor. But if it contirbutes to how a horse might run today then it is a "form" factor.
