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.
I would have to agree, you want to back horses who just sit of the speed in 4th, 5th coming around the turn, although at MV i dont mind backing a front runner.

Need to be close to the leader to be in it unless your horse has a massive turn of speed although your always going to have races when back runners find trouble. I dont like to bet and hope the horse i backed will have luck to get through the field after the turn.
