Today’s 2 year old races with Smartform
By colin on Saturday, May 7th, 2011Early season 2 year old races can be notoriously difficult. With no form, what is there to go on?
For the horse – breeding (sire, dam_sire), precocity
For the connections – recent trainer form, trainer specialism, trainer and jockey trends
Smartform can give you an edge in all these areas.
Looking at precocity alone, foaling dates are a highly useful pointer at this stage of the season. In less than a second with Smartform we can find all 2 year old races on any given day and rank them all according to their birthday.
Here are the top third of the field ranked from this query in each race today (in order of birthday):
Haydock 2.30: Lexi’s Prince, Egyptian Cross, Banksy, Fiction or Fact
Ascot 4.00: Bayleyf, North Star Boy, Charles The Great
Warwick 6.15: Choice Of Remark, Manderston
At this stage of the season, all the above have a distinct edge in age over their contemporaries and should go very well.
