Example 1: Study the Previous Races on the Race Card<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_heading title=”Example used: Race 8 at Arlington on the 8 March 2013″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-10px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

To start let\u2019s set the\u00a0<\/span>Grid Info<\/span>\u00a0to “LBH”.<\/span><\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/formgrids.help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Method01_01a8.png” alt=”Select LBH in the grid” title_text=”Select LBH in the grid” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”10px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Now let\u2019s baseline the runners on number 1,\u00a0<\/span>BREEZING THROUGH<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 as he is the favourite (picked up from Tabgold).<\/p>\n

Hold your cursor on the grids of runs prior to this race for\u00a0<\/span>BREEZING THROUGH<\/span>.<\/p>\n

In this example the cursor on the most recent run already reveals a lot.\u00a0<\/span>BREEZING THROUGH<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>had run against number 8,\u00a0<\/span>SEVEN NETWORK<\/span>. Looking at the colours in the respective grids tells you\u00a0<\/span>SEVEN NETWORK<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>(green) beat\u00a0<\/span>BREEZING THROUGH<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>into second place (yellow) by half a length (0.50).<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/formgrids.help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Method01_02a8.png” alt=”Mouse over grid to see which other horse also ran” title_text=”Mouse over grid to see which other horse also ran” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”10px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

So assuming that\u00a0<\/span>BREEZING THROUGH<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>will run well (as he is the favourite) we now know that\u00a0<\/span>SEVEN NETWORK<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>will also run in the places.<\/p>\n

The above is confirmed (in this example as not all cases are as clear cut as this) when placing the cursor on the earlier run for\u00a0<\/span>BREEZING THROUGH<\/span>. Again\u00a0<\/span>SEVEN NETWORK<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>(green) beat\u00a0<\/span>BREEZING THROUGH<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>into second place (yellow); this time by 1.75 lengths.<\/p>\n

The rest of the grids for\u00a0<\/span>BREEZING THROUGH<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>don\u2019t reveal too much so let\u2019s continue our study with\u00a0<\/span>SEVEN NETWORK\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>grids. The most recent race we already know so let\u2019s move onto the earlier race. Hovering over this grid shows that\u00a0<\/span>SEVEN NETWORK<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>had a previous run against\u00a0<\/span>ICY ZONE<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>where\u00a0<\/span>ICY ZONE<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>had come third and 2.25 lengths behind the winner (in this case\u00a0<\/span>SEVEN NETWORK<\/span>). So\u00a0<\/span>ICY ZONE<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is also a good contender for a place.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/formgrids.help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Method01_03a8.png” alt=”More mouse over grid to get even more info” title_text=”More mouse over grid to get even more info” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”10px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Moving onto the next previous grid reveals that\u00a0<\/span>TALL SHIP<\/span>\u00a0wins and beats\u00a0<\/span>SEVEN NETWORK<\/span>\u00a0into third place.<\/span><\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/formgrids.help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Method01_04a8.png” alt=”Some more hovering over a grid to find collateral” title_text=”Some more hovering over a grid to find collateral” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”10px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Just this quick study tells us that the following horses will likely be in the top places:<\/p>\n
