The 9 runs 100 metres last so it ain't counted.

Well.
It actually beat home #6.
And also almost beat one of my top selections home.

I have a bad feeling the losing streak is about to arrive
I still have Races 7 and 8 at Shepparton to do , but it is my worst track and normally destroys my nerves.

Moeee, if I ever learned anything about horse racing, and I think I did learn a few things, it's to keep away from losing tracks, types of races, and losing days.

It may sound stupid and I can't offer a logical explanation for it, but believe me they exist!

Yeah , but following your advice would mean using common sense , but I'M STOOPID!!!

The trouble when I say Shepparton is my worst track , it is just a perception because I still choose not to keep records of my travels. (STOOPID Again!)

I don't have a lot of videos of Races at Shepparton, and animals tend to run at the same tracks all the time , probably because their trainers live in the vicinity.

And not watching many races with these animals means very little familiarity with those animals and rely on Form Study , which ain't working too well with me.

AXEMAN is Late Scratching.

Almost saying all bets are off, bu...r!

well so much for that!
No excuses but I can tell you, what I can see in dog races, one dog out after the rating's done, makes a 100 times more difference than a late scratching in the gallops.

But you would be more aware of that than I am surely.
That's it for me for the day.
Good luck

I dunno.
I guess it all depends on how you come about your ratings.

There is a Method that takes into account each animals strike rate and prizemoney earnings.
Something like that would not be influenced by late scratchings.

But actual race study could be influenced a lot due to the large gap now presented to the animals on either side of the box of the late scratching.
Also can be important if the scratching is a leader , although Axeman is slow , so it wasn't an issue in todays race.

I done my balls on the race , because I had only 2 chances , one was withdrawn , and even still over $4 was freely available on the other.

Sometimes its best to just let it go.
Not worth the messing of the head to find out what went wrong.
Life is too short.

And by the way - Lomaca - I don't know if you recall, but perhaps a month ago SANDY BUBBA came up as a best bet in your methods in the city.
