Can They perform 3rd up!
 

Following on from Barnys general ideas I trial a little system on the database to gather some thoughts on horses finding their peak rating at value

Just a quick test on the following found

Saturday Metro Races
2 Runs this prep
LS Finish 10th or more
2nd Finish 10th or more
3rd LS Finish = 1st

Looking to find horses maybe peaking at 3rd run

well its didn't work

120 races since October 2007 found a total of 2 winners ($13.00)

When looking for gold you might find silver. But is that a bad thing

Round 2 tonight I'll run over all venues every day of the week

Hi Vortech,

What about:

LS Finish 3rd or more
2nd Finish 6th or more

Looking for a little bit of improvement.

I'll have a look tonight for you.

I'll be getting the upgrade soon to allow the data to go back to 2000.

I've tried looking at increase in distance and third up, 1200 to 1400 to 1600, with no luck.

Barny have you looked at horses (3yr old horses) racing in country areas in open classes and then coming to the city racing against own age
