High Priced Winners…
On Monday I was supposed to be working on Distance Travelled but, something popped up.
Now, I know that Distance Travelled is going to be very important to us but...
This new thing could be even more important.
You see, Roy emailed me to let me know that one of our top rated RSR (Really Simple Ratings) horses had just won at an incredible price.
Windsor - 13:40 - Arboy Will won at 150/1 - 334.75 BSP

Arboy Will had a Forecast Price (my Forecast Price) at 9am of 33/1.
So, I had no choice to drop everything to investigate what happens to top rated horses which have a high Forecast Price.
Now, on last week's Saturday Summary, I mentioned that I was working on a daily report to show Distance Travelled; the distance that a horse has had to travel to its race.
Some of you were kind enough to point out that this information is available on the Racing Post website but...
This isn't really the information that I am after.
You see, the distance that a horse has to travel is largely dependant upon the location of it's Trainer's stable.
I know that that sounds obvious but,
Imagine that Black Beauty is being trained by Emma Owen (HP18 0EB) who is based at Aylesbury.
Now, Aylesbury is fairly central when you look at a map of all UK race courses.
Thus, it is possible (even likely) that Black Beauty doesn't have to travel too far to get to a race.
Now, think about Jean McGregor (no, I've never heard of her either but I do know that her post code is KY13 0RW) who is based in Kinross and has the honour of being the most northern registered trainer.
She generally sends her horse to Kelso and Perth but has had entries in Ireland and English courses such as Aintree and Uttoxeter.
