Allocated weight is form. The allocated weight is the penalty or bonus given by the handicapper based on recent past form. Distance the race is a direct reflection of how the trainer views the horses recent form, same for the type of race- the horse must be eligible to run which is recent form.
You are saying that you have systems which do not consider the displayed FORMLINE of recent results. You however still do not consider past results IE API W% etc.
You are saying NO FORM. I am saying impossible and asking you politely to substantiate you claim. Beton |
