Default What if.. ?

What if the world was really upside down - inside out - back the front.

E.G The last 3 runs

What if most of us are reading it backwards?

Cheers LG

Yeah.
Most punters rely on the last run without ever considering what Class of race it was .
i.e up in class , drop in class, same class.

Is that what you were referring to?

I think what LG is referring to is something like Held Hostage's form?
1 2 5 due for a win again? and did at $7.80

Might be but how would one know without considering ALL the form factors that produce winners.
i.e Class /weight etc etc

Was thinking more on these angles Darky...

1. The horse is in the race because the trainer thinks it has some chance of winning. Regardless of current form

2. It has been successful before based on its earlier form

3. We get better value given its best form is not its most recent

Well considering that assessing horses based on recent form only produces 1 in 3 winners, then LG's contrarian approach is as good as any, in my book
Looking at Flemington yesterday the winners L3s were:
1
125
699
x11
532
115
x11
N31
x13

Just an observation, but I'd be dropping that one LG in favour of: Had a win in last three starts? 7 out of 9

Food for thought RP. Have listed the no. of selections in each race with a win in last 3 starts and the div on unitab as a guide.

Cheers LG
