yeah what the hell are trans races.

Thanks for your answer to my question about what is a "Welter", Shaun. Might take me a little while to get my mind around it though!

I asked the question about 'transitional' about six months ago. Answer?

cheers for the link. what is the point of having trans hcp's when they can just have an open race

i think transition races are for horses that havent won since the cows came home.

Found the answer at the supermarket on the back of a packet of soap: "This soap is made from 100% Transitional Horses only".

Would I lie to you?

The Transitional handicaps replace classes 5,6 and welter races in NSW. They are open to all horses. However the quality of them can vary quite markedly. IMO they contain horses that are either improving on the way to better grades or for horses over the hill in transit to oblivion. The variation probably comes from the number of horses in each race drawn from these two categories. ie if it is full of old plodders in winter it is weaker than young improvers in spring/autumn.

A Transitional race is a combination of Class 5, Class 6, and Open Hcps put together, i give it a weight rating of 57, compared to 60 for Open Hcps and 55 for Class 6 city races.

I've said it before, the Wizard couldn't pick their nose.

If you had backed their LAST 2 selections instead of their first three, you would have done better. Lost less that is.

The most expensive Racing paper with the least ability to rate horses. Computerized Mumbo Jumbo not worth a crumpet.

Bring back the Globe!

Well yesterday was not a good day....they are far from the worst paper.......the money i lost yesterday was only what i added to the bank after wednesdays winners i also pocketed twice that amout as profit.....and i know we can't say well if only this had happend.but did you see the price of "Crlton Spirit" they also gave me "Oscar Worrior" a few weeks ago...at $64 and then again the nextweek at $13.30 who else tiped that horse twice....i ride the good with the bad and belive me the good can be very good....overall i lost 8% of my bank yesterday after backing 30 selections who else can tell me how they did....you also have to remember winter raceing is not the best races around....can't wait for spring.
