As a spectacle ‘All Weather Horse Racing’ is probably the least attractive form of Horse Racing available. The main reason I have been drawn to it is that as a ‘Speed Handicapper’ there are angles to exploit and variables that have less impact or can be completely ignored when compared to other forms of UK Horse Racing. There are also new variables to consider, but variables that are far easier to measure and assess.
There are currently four active UK Horse Racing All Weather Tracks at Kempton, Lingfield, Southwell and Wolverhampton. Great Leighs is currently in the hands of the administrators and for a short while made a fifth venue, its future at present is uncertain.
From my earliest years involved in Horse Racing I have always had most success when adopting a methodical or systematic approach rather than the scatter gun tactic adopted by most bettors. I do not have or use a Horse Raceing System nor am I an advocate of systems. My selection process is governed by what I believe to be a set of rules that can be backed up statistically as successful and to the surprise of most of my peers I am not a gambler by nature. This in my opinion gives me the ideal temperament as I have no compulsion to gamble regardless of the amount of study and hard work I put in. Horse Racing is my crossword puzzle and a intellectual challenge and to find a horse that goes under the radar by bookmaker and punter alike is my reward. This is not to say that I am only looking for ‘Snow in the Sahara’.
Speed Figures or Speed Handicapping over the past 50 years has become so sophisticated and so widely respected odds are compiled around them. The success of Andrew Beyer in the USA has caused the odds on his top rated to deteriorate from a profit to a loss if backed blindly.
In this Blog I am hoping to give you some tips most pundits rarely consider and angles that even the shrewdest bookmakers rarely give any consideration to. Not just an endless stream of selections but an insight in to the process and how I have accumulated my data. If I was to follow any tipster I would like to know his thought processes in arriving at his or her conclusion. It is only when you share those opinions that you could give credence to that selection. The obvious advantage I have is that unlike tipsters in the media I have the advantage of not having to make a selection for every race. I can select and play based upon when I feel the odds are in my favour.
Betting has never been easier with online betting giving us a view of the odds of every bookmaker and exchange at the click of a mouse. Form and information can be gathered in seconds and manipulated in whatever way you like, in spreadsheets and databases. It has never been easier to investigate and explore the form-line of a horse, calculate ratings and give yourself an informed view of any race being run in the UK or abroad. What you do with this information is the key to your success. What is relevant and what is irrelevant we will discover in this Blog.
