well the easiest way to see how they came home is to just look how they were at the turn compared to where they finished...
e.g. HORSEY1 was 12th of 14 at the turn last start and finished 4th beaten 1.5 lengths over 1400m. If he was racing over 1600m next start you would like his chances...
Other than that you can check out the audio replays in the racing archives at racetab.com.au, or you could look at the video replays on tvn.com
