the most important thing about form is evaluating every horse individually and understanding what race conditions they perform best under. If you aren't prepared to go through hours of video analysis it's a waste of time there is no point acknowledging that Timmy beat Tommy if you don't know why he did. My pocket can attest to this but you have to lose to learn. when you get three or four horses performing well under their favoured conditions this is when you usually get the good 'form' races. when I had time to study races i'd find myself focusing on horses and almost forgetting the rest of the field. then do that with as many races as possible and you'll get a better understanding of that horse. Because I saw him mentioned Peace and Co was only ever going to win one way in the Triumph last year. track the pace and be delivered as late as possible. I think if hargam and top notch ran 5 lbs worse Peace and Co wasn't going to go away by an extra 5 lengths, he'd just be delivered in the same manner and win by a similar distance. Maybe that's more to do with ratings but it all comes under the same umbrella of form I guess. I appreciate the kind welcome last week I can't seem to remember what thread it was in so I'll have to wave the white flag on that and apologise :surrender:

[QUOTE="treaty, post: 2541430, member: 66411"] the most important thing about form is evaluating every horse individually and understanding what race conditions they perform best under. If you aren't prepared to go through hours of video analysis it's a waste of time there is no point acknowledging that Timmy beat Tommy if you don't know why he did. My pocket can attest to this but you have to lose to learn. when you get three or four horses performing well under their favoured conditions this is when you usually get the good 'form' races. when I had time to study races i'd find myself focusing on horses and almost forgetting the rest of the field. then do that with as many races as possible and you'll get a better understanding of that horse. Because I saw him mentioned Peace and Co was only ever going to win one way in the Triumph last year. track the pace and be delivered as late as possible. I think if hargam and top notch ran 5 lbs worse Peace and Co wasn't going to go away by an extra 5 lengths, he'd just be delivered in the same manner and win by a similar distance. Maybe that's more to do with ratings but it all comes under the same umbrella of form I guess.
