Hi,

I know this has probably been posted before but I couldn't find anything in the previous threads..

What are the things you should record and have a system look at :

For example I know you should at least record

Date
Track Name
Track Condition
Race Length
Number of starters
Horse Name
Horse Age
Horse WIN Dividend
Horse Place Dividend
Total horse races
Total horse wins
Total horse seconds
Total horse Thirds
Days Since last run
Course Horse races
Course Horse wins
Course horse seconds
Course horse Thirds
Distance Horse races
Distance Horse wins
Distance horse seconds
Distance horse Thirds
Weather
Trainer Name
Jockey Name
Jockey Wins
Jockey Rides Total
Jockey Course Wins
Jockey Course Places
Jockey Course Total
Jockey Distance Wins
Jockey Distance Places
Jockey Distance Total
Last Start Result
Second Last Start Result
Third Last Start Result
Length Finished behind winner
Avg Length finished behind winner

Which of these are more important ? What other things should I record (and where can I get them )?

Thanks for any help provided.

What position it finished :-)

Maybe estimated lengths lost due to being blocked for a run, or whatever.

You missed this one

The next winner

wesmip1,
Are you really serious about all those stats, you would never get to put a bet on.
Haven't you ever heard of the K.I.S.S. method.

Backmarker or races on the pace /good early speed in the majority of their races.

Everything and more available in the WIZARD every Friday.

Cheers.

very indepth records, like kenchar says you wouldnt have time to bet,
you could use last five or ten runs, 6572654112 eg and a touch of late mail, if i looks ok in the ring and the odds are on YOUR side, bet on it.
Ive looked at lot of races and can often think that my nag is unbeatable, ie THE top trainer, THE top jockey, THE best Barrier (which i believe there isnt) THE best recent form etc, do i bet on it, well it depends on what my gut says,
Cheers dingo

With a quality racing paper like the Friday WIZARD most of this stuff your looking at is "at a glance" stuff.
Meaning its all there in front of you.
Concentrate on those horses that are in the top 6 WT/TIME ratings and also in the top 6 of any online bookmakers OPENING quote.

As OSULDJ( a top line proffessional punter who used to occasionally post here) once told me "learn to correctly read form and you cant go far wrong."

Cheers.
