SUMMARY
The column that pulls no punches
THE PUNT MASTER
During the period I've been penning the Puntmaster column for Practical Punting Monthly, one of the side benefits has been the feedback from readers.Not all agree with me on some issues, and that's how it should be, but the most pleasing aspect of the feedback has been where I can assist others in their punting and analysis efforts.
SUMMARY
The secret lies in the race tempo
EARLY PACE POWER FACTORS
How many times have you seen a horse finish strongly to win, only to plod home as an unplaced favourite at its next run? What about the front-runner that defies all challengers in the straight one start, but is then beaten on the turn at its next?
These sudden form reversals may seem like just another element in the great uncertainty of racing, but more often than not they can be explained by one very important factor: the influence of early pace.
SUMMARY
Why they win again – and why they don’t
SOLVING THE REPLICATION CODE
Probably my most pleasurable pastime would be an afternoon at the track with fellow racing enthusiasts, exchanging views on the day’s racing and discussing the merit of one another’s selections over the odd cleansing ale or two.Apart from the focus on the day at hand, these gatherings over the years have also become somewhat of a sounding board for a number of racing and punting theories proffered by members of the group.
SUMMARY
Forget about weight, focus on par times
‘SPEED’ LEEDS TO THE WINNERS
In the December 2005 edition of PPM, I wrote an article which attacked one of racing’s most time honored core values, the issue of weights and how it impacted on form analysis. The essence of the article was to advocate that form students should forget about weights as a major form tool.
My research into this area revealed that “doing the weights” had little predictive value and punters should shift their focus to other areas of form data, which would have greater benefit in the selection process.
SUMMARY
NZ angle on speed and the sectionals
USE THE 600m TIMES TO FIND WINNERS
Kiwi journalist Neil Davis is regarded as one of New Zealand’s leading “speed” analysts. In this special article he gives us a special NZ angle on using sectional times. Neil has been a punter for 30 years and has used systems and different handicapping methods during that time. He now supplies video comments for NZ gallops meetings to the NZ TAB and runs his own website http://formpro.co.nzOnce you understand how to use sectional times, you will want to use them all of the time in your form analysis. Australian punters are spoilt with at least the last 600m recorded at most meetings and individual sectionals recorded at most city tracks.
