Can I say there is much wisdom in that post.
I think we can all know too much.
I've been studying past results for Victorian greyhounds with much enthusiasm,and again,I have lost just the same.
Sure,after the race we can see why the roughy of the field got up.
But I think the original thoughts are the best.
I am going to try something similar to what a ROMAN KOZ suggested.
Compare horses in lots of 2's or 3's.
I will throw out the worst in a group of 3.
Then grab another 3 runners and throw out the worst.
Quck analysis that will be.
When I end up with only 3 starters left,I will then study more closely and compare the available price and make my selections from that.
Makes it hard to post selections prior to start time though.
