In relation to the original post and days since last start i feel days since last start is the most overated piece of form going around...

You always hear the old (insert high number here)% of winners had raced within the last 7,14,21 days blah blah blah,well guess what that is because (insert high number here)% of runners had raced within that time span.

Ever since Vintage Crop won the cup trainers have woken up to the fact that each horse is an individual and performs at its optimum in different ways..

Furthermore if (insert high number here)% of modern day punters are concentraing on days since last start would it make sense to go against the grain?
