Race Courses

    i have certain rules about different race courses, they are not fool proof but for me they have worked pretty well in the past...

    Lingfield:
    Lingfield has a reputation as a very difficult place to make all the running...as a result i dont back front runners
    lingfield is the toughest of all the aw tracks for jockeys and horse's alike..so as a result i really examine a jockey's history at the lingfield track and aplly the following rule (mostly):
    stick with the best course jockeys, i try and ensure that the horse is being ridden by a jockey with at least a 20% strike rate in lingfield.

    Wolverhampton:
    in 5 and 6 furlong races i try and stick to selections in the low numbered stalls...

    Aintree/Cheltenham:
    while it has nothing to do with the courses themselves...i wont back a horse who has run at the cheltenham festival and then runs at aintree a few weeks later... imo a horse is either being aimed at chelt or aintree, not both. Cheltenham takes a lot out of horses.

    now i know there's nothing ground breaking in the above, but i was wondering does anyone else have their own rules? why?

    I love this thread...

    Chester, only back horses in the first 4 stalls (unless they are complete donkeys and the class horse is in number 5). You cannot as a general rule win at chester unless you are in the first 2/3 making the running..

    None more so than Galway and Cheltenham, previous at both these tracks is a serious advantage

    Front runners at Laytown, very hard to pick up on that surface.

    York is seriously biased to front runners

    Wexford seems biased to horses that aren't very good :D

    Lingfield turf races have a rather high win rate by the favourite. Ger Lyons wins at least one race per Dundalk meeting ;)
