Hi all,

I have been finding it very difficult to get information of 'first up' horses i.e. time since last run; spell period, first up record.
I notice today at Ballarat that there were a lot of 1st up horses, but no information on their first up records...
Is there somewhere on the net I could obtain this information for FREE?

Thanks all

Hi Micky,

The QTab site gives the First Up record of all horses (when you click the horse's name). If it is first up in a particular race, the history will indicate how long since its last start. I'm not sure, but you may have to have an account with them to access this info.

Thanks Merriguy,

thought that information may fall in to the 'pay for it' range

I hope that I have understood the problem but you should be able to get this information for free from the Virtual Form Guide, part of Cyberhorse.

You have to look at each race and horse individually though.
