it is funny what you will see if you look at a horses total starts if they are say a 4yo+ i have seen some horses that always win 2 in a row.....they have done all thier life......other take 4 starts to fire so as soon as they have hit 4 starts thats when you start putting money on.....others win about the same time every year.....i don't use this method myself but it will work if you have the time to follow up on it.....i just use the last 3 starts plus other bits of form to find the winners....sure it does not work every race or even every day...but thats not what we are trying to do are we....if you are then you are not really using a professional approach.....we just have to win enough races to make a nice profit and that all that counts.
