punting to all!”
"I am very appreciative of the efforts that go into producing this outstanding information."
In the November and December issues of PPM the foundations were laid over two articles devoted to the combined elements of distance, going and field size within a race that contribute to the stamina contest of the race.
Concentration was focused solely on post-autumn three-year-old horses or older horses largely because their form has begun to show exactly where they stand in terms of the races they are likely to win.
In the November issue of PPM I started to talk about the three elements that define the stamina content of any given horse race, namely: distance, going and field size. The article maintained that two very important outcomes could be formed from close analysis of these three elements:
When we sit down to analyse a horse race, one of the first things we will do is to try to assess the kind of race that is on offer.
We will look at the class of the race and we will note the distance and going and we’ll then begin to assess each horse’s individual form with a hope to divining the most likely winner.

Back in 1989, I won P.P.M's Letter of the Year Award. Since that time, I believe a number of varying changes have occurred in horse-racing. I took two years off my betting activities to study and research into what is contributing to making racing harder and harder to win at every year.
