Wet Track Betting Tips

Continued from previous page

What conclusions can we draw?

1. Betting on Heavy tracks can be very risky. Some horses are just about impossible to select on form.

2. A win on a Heavy track in a maiden as the only Heavy track win is no guarantee that the horse will handle a Heavy track at a Saturday metropolitan meeting.

3. Horses that have had plenty of races without a Heavy track win are usually dubious betting propositions.

4. Lightly raced horses that have never raced on a Heavy track are difficult to assess. They can often win first up, but you have no real idea whether or not they will handle the track. That makes the race an even more difficult betting proposition than a similar race with horses resuming on a Good rated track.

5. A Slow track is not a Heavy track. Horses that perform on Slow tracks do not automatically handle Heavy tracks.

6. Horses that have never raced on a Heavy track are better betting propositions than horses that have failed on Heavy tracks.
