What is a “formline”?

One of the strengths of Formgrids is that you can see the form coming into a race (for Race Cards and Results) and the form coming out of a race (as seen in the Results).

The form coming out of a race is more important than the form going into a race. If there are horses “coming out” to win (see diagram) then we have a “formline”.

It is important that the “wins” (seen as green grids) are your very next runs coming out (again see diagram).

For instance, the example below is said to be a “strong formline” because three horses came out to winBIG CAT will almost certainly come out to win the its next run based on this formline. Also take note of SECOND-IN-COMMAND for a place.
