Punters..., just one other issue to be aware of in your final thoughts about backing certain horses/dogs/trotters. How many times have you intended to back a certain runner but been diverted away by some negative report or opinion from some "expert."
Regularly, the horse/dog/trotter, that you intended to support, duly salutes at generous odds leaving you cursing for having listened to someone elses opinion.
Take my advice....always follow your own opinion...sure..., listen to the "experts" for their opinion, but, believe in your own thoughts/ form study before investing your "hard-earned."
All the best.

Cheers.
