    The sectionals (combined with some reflection) put Inspiral's defeat in a different light: https://www.racingtv.com/results/uk/395013-newmarket/08-Jul-2022/1535 Very inefficient use of energy and even though there many have been a bounce factor it's very hard to overcome such a sustained pace...

    TH Ten To Follow Competition 2021 / 2022

    Awesome work Grey. I can assist with building a spreadsheet for future comps if there isn't a template available already.

    The 2022 Derby Thread

    1m4f around Epsom is a fairly unique test and I'd always be wary of trying to translate the result into precise ratings to inform future races. Agree on the second point, with the sectionals backing up the three lengths lost.

    Diamond Geezer

    It was extremely generous of him to put the time in to run the competitions. If you need any help with spreadsheet formulas etc. to help in calculating the results for the latest competition or for managing any future competitions then let me know. Perhaps if there is enough interest we could...

    Hukum

    They're almost the same, just with the final furlong missing. Also for whatever reason the sectional links never work; need to post from the RTV results instead. https://www.racingtv.com/results/uk/384700-epsom-downs/03-Jun-2022/1510

    Hukum

    Numbers indicate a pretty even pace (accounting for the topography), with Hukum being the best horse on the day. https://www.racingtv.com/results/uk/384700-epsom-downs/03-Jun-2022/1510 The result correlates with others on the card, except the preceding handicap which threw up sectionals which...

    Sectional Timing

    One pretty important thing; the times have to be correct. I have some concerns about the RTV sectionals based on the results from this race at Epsom: https://www.racingtv.com/results/uk/393361-epsom-downs/03-Jun-2022/1435 I really doubt that the entire field slowed down so markedly from F3 to...

    Sectional Timing

    ATR data is good, but obviously doesn't cover most of the better meetings and has two potential problems; you're placing trust in their methodology for the per furlong pars/optimums and on a macro scale it assumes that pacing is currently close to optimum in the aggregate. With regard to...

    Sectional Timing

    ATR, RP and FG show the sectionals for each horse. For TV there isn't really a way to do it for anything other than the leading horse that wouldn't be extremely obtrusive on the screen or pretty confusing. Also, once up to speed running each furlong at the same speed (imagining a completely...

    Sectional Timing

    Yep, RedK is the average per KM (always a pain to deal with seconds and metric distances) and distance travelled fits perfectly with the numbers on the individual pages (vitesse moyenne = avg speed). The average speed is rounded to the nearest .1 but using the 56km/h it seems the winner...

    Sectional Timing

    France Galop have some good sectional data, here's an interesting race flagged up by the RP: https://www7.france-galop.com/Casaques/Tracking//20220526LON08_last_times_fr.pdf 600m is about 4 yards short of 3 furlongs so add 0.2s to get a last 3F time. Two things I can't figure out: "Redk du...

    Free Bets

    Thought it would be good to compile a list of the best regular/fairly frequent free bets (those without staking requirements, or else a very small amount) as the cost of living begins to bite. Sky Bet: Quite often give £5 bets (no expiry) if you place a 5p bet on a specific event (they appear...
