"I have never had so much success (or fun) with the punt. Thanx heaps and great
punting to all!”
"I am very appreciative of the efforts that go into producing this outstanding information."
One of the great mysteries of racing has always been the subject of 'pace', or how a race will be run. Some races, mainly the shorter sprints, speak for themselves.
We know that a 1000m Lightning Stakes, or an 110Orn Oakleigh Plate, is going to be run at a hectic pace. The issue is not so clear once the races get longer.
There
are man patterns in racing. Horses tend to race in a certain 'pattern'
and often you discern coming winners by looking for changes in the way a
horse runs from race to race.
Some years ago, a knowledgeable
racing man told me to be on the lookout for what he called the
'snappers'-horses that suddenly showed fast early speed when usually
they race well back off the pace.
