American Racing Form

UrbanSea

Anyone know any good sites for American form?

Thinking of heading to Arlington tomorrow but their site has entries but no form

From the odd bit of U.S. racing I've seen on ATR it just seems to be short priced favourites are the ones to back before the off.

Stupid Americans. How hard is it to find a bit of form

MyStubbleItches

Just tell them that the Chinese are stockpiling form by the warehouse load.

i think you normally have to pay to get form in american races

UrbanSea

I'm here now. No idea how to read the form

UrbanSea

You can buy a thing it's basically like a racing post but about 6 dollars. The form is a pain to read, I had to ask someone where it even said their finishing position, the main emphasis is on the fractions.


Was a good day though, train stopped directly outside of the track and it was only 6 dollars in. Beats the 15 euro I paid into Sligo a few weeks back, brilliant facilities too

Going to Arlington in the morning. Hopefully it goes better than my last day there

I think when the favourite is coupled it is a good sign, it has a strong chance,

I am sure somebody told me that, but then I could of been dreaming, be lucky sir I hope you win plenty.

Thats the best place to keep it, were there many outsiders winning, what was the place like do they do it better than home, facilities and stuff like that,

I am sure it wont take you long to get your losses back.

UrbanSea

Ah it was alright. I left before I could do some real damage.


Any horse I seemed to back came from way off the pace. Coming from the back is very hard in American racing, they leave it until they're in the home straight which is short as the whole track is oval

Really poor field for next week's Million. Was looking forward to this for a while, not sure if I'll bother going
