What logic is "plain silly"? You are working from an old paradigm. With the benefit of modern computing and algorithms they spend a lot less time "doing the form" than you realise. The NZTAB may have had numerous bookies pouring over fields and form in the past but since ENTAIN has taken over and more data has become available much of the hard graft is done by computer. Hell I know part-time punters that have developed computer programmes with multi-factor algorithms that produce odds and then compare against the odds on offer to flag value. In fact there are a few posters on BOAY past and present that do that. If they're doing it you'd be mad to think the bookies aren't doing it with all the computing power they have. Well we all know that jumpouts in OZ are akin to our trials so yes it does have relevance. I fail to see what value a trackwork watcher offers and comments from most Trainers I tend to ignore. Owners pay for that information - why should it be available to EVERY punter? That said I've heard information from trainers that more often than not has been turned upside down in a race. I remember my first winner - "Oh we'd be happy if she finished fourth"....bolted in and paid $36!!! No it isn't a waster of time getting the information - afterall the owner pays for it - but the value in terms of its chances in a race are very limited. Generally I've learnt that the best I can hope for from a trainer is "the horse is bright, fit and very happy and there have been no problems in the lead up". -

The Louisiana Racing Commission unanimously approved changes to its proposed void claiming rules at its Nov. 17 meeting, re-inserting some protections that would void a claim if the horse dies or returns to the saddling area lame.View the full article -

Some of your logic is plain silly. I don't want to waste time responding. However a few points. Auckland should have view figures for the sectional pages generated from the Triple etc system.. Bookies i.e. odds settors do spend considerable effort doing the form. Fail to see what relevance sectional times have in jumpouts. So its a waste of time for example owners getting info from trainers. How silly of me to think otherwise. -

I doubt the pre-race analysis accounted for the extreme track bias though. -

H'mm ..over 40 non winners beforehand. I guess patience is the name of the game.
