I try and stick to backing horses who race up on the pace, whilst seeing your horse come with a withering run from the back of the field is great, they are few and far between. It takes a good horse to unwind sectionals to come from last, or a fast pace, some luck, a well time ride and a fair track, normally a combination of both.

Thats not to say i dont back swoopers, especially if its a swoopers track but as a general rule i like to back horses who race close to the speed. Do yourself a favour and keep a record of where your winners sit in the run, reckon you will find a lot land in the first half of the field.

I also dont like betting in many of the big races.
