CAMPAIGN MILEPOSTS
0ne thing that is constant in the world of punting is that we need to explore new angles to either enhance our selection process or improve our ability to eliminate losers. An angle that has been widely talked about is fitness.It makes good sense to be investing only on horses that are fit and able to perform at their best. For any angle to be useful you must be able to develop a measure or guide that provides the desired result, in this case backing a fit horse. Fitness, whether it is a racehorse or human athlete, is developed by training for and participation in events against competitors.

HAPPY DAYS! (Part 2)
Looking at two recent Saturday meetings in Sydney and Melbourne, I was struck by the statistics of each winner's 'last run' days. They served to emphasise the value of recent form when making selections.
Six of the eight winners at Rosehill had their last start within the previous 21 days. At Moonee Valley, seven of the eight winners had their last start within that same period. In all then, 13 of 16 winners had raced 21 days or less before the current race.

FIT TO RULE! (Part 1)
Fitness - as far as off-course punters are concerned is very much a mystery. TAB punters haven't a clue as to whether a horse is fit or otherwise as it lopes off to the starting gates.
We may see all the races live on SKY, but what we don't see are the horses themselves as they parade before a race (save for fleeting glimpses when major races are on). The only way an off-course punter can decide about a horse's actual state of fitness is to look at its form lines and make a subjective judgement.

Fitness – the KEY to winning
7-YEAR ITCH!
The fitness of a racehorse, as we all know, is of paramount importance when it comes to determining how it might run in a given race. Fit horses win races, goes the old saying.When I lived in America, I was constantly trying new methods of establishing fitness. I read everything I could on the subject and found that everyone seemed to have different opinions.

POWER PATTERNS
Psychologists call it 'patterns of behaviour' and, of course, they're talking about human beings and the way that 99 per cent of us adopt a rational lifestyle with predictable behaviour.
But what about when this line of thinking is applied to racehorses? Is there a discernible pattern of behaviour? You might think that horses being horses, their behaviour would be, for the most part, pretty dam difficult to pin down.
