Hi can anyone assist me where I might be able to find track legends , those little letters at the end of a horses name for race meetings, always handy to have and to know if form is not available eg: CDTW you know what I mean anyway would really apprecite the whereabouts if these elusive little letters
are downloadable for daily meetings from somewhere

Hi ChrisG,

T won at track
C won this distance at this track
D won this distance at another track
W won on a wet track (Heavy or Slow)

Also:
B was a beaten favourite at it's last start
A apprentice jockey

the number in brackets is its barrier ie (4).

if there is a asterix next to its previous 5 starts means it was beaten favourite last start. Normally has to be very short to recieve an aserix ie. 52624*

Funny thing about this thread. First, I thought it was about some characters who hang around the track, but when I read it I was surprised because I was just starting to refine my own "Track Legends" into a key code for others to use and to develop more and logical characters. I use these three codes the most to sum up a horse's running style: S=speed, runs on pace, ST=stalker, runs in mid-pack just behind leaders, C=closers, come from far behind and usuallly wide on the turn for home. These make it easier to group horses when a bias is prevalent. When a horse is multi-dimensional: V=versatile


T=turf or turfer(better runner on turf than on dirt)
!=take notice of "this" or a very positive sign
?= research "this" or a negative sign to stay away from this runner
--- = I will draw a line through a runner's past races that are irrelavent and should not even be considered when handicapping
>= I will use this when stating a runner or sire's percentage of wins/winners, such as "sire has > 20% Debut Winners on T(I.E. Encosta de Lago >22% 1X T!)

Guys, I'm pretty sure Chris knows what the letters mean. What he wants is some place where you can get them even if it's hard to find form for a meeting.

Chris, if you simply want the 'track legend' for non tab country meetings, then I don't know that I can help you. I think these places should help you with form for most of those meetings though:

If you want the track legend for tab meetings, then go here:
