I wouldn't use the Hcaps races either.spreadbetting wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 2:32 pmK thnx, ran an amended one and no B's today, a few HP races cropped up but guess they're low class handicaps?

Handicaps are a mix of graded runners, where the slowest runners are in the lower traps and the better ones are in the higher traps. The slower runners receive a x yards over a staggered start.

Back in the day, when they were first introduced, T1 would win a high number of Hcap races.
As Juke said, D races are the sprint races. Can't explain why the odds move differently on these ones though.Archery1969 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 7:55 pmHi WTFH,wearthefoxhat wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 3:12 pmI wouldn't use the Hcaps races either.spreadbetting wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 2:32 pmK thnx, ran an amended one and no B's today, a few HP races cropped up but guess they're low class handicaps?

What exactly are 'D' class races ?
The odds movement makes no sense whatsoever, agreed you could make a fortune if you knew how to trade them as they can move up/down >= 4 odds sometimes (not ticks) but if you dont then you can be up a river with no boat or paddles.![]()
Thanks for that. But like you said, doesnt explain why the odds move to extremes very quickly.wearthefoxhat wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 8:43 pmAs Juke said, D races are the sprint races.

If reading form, when a runner has recently been running in D races, and is now back to A races, it gives a clue that is has got sprinters pace, which can be good to know if it also has a strong BRT. The only wrinkle is, the reason it was probably running in sprint races, is that there is a doubt that it could stay the middle distance A races. It would need to be dropped in grade as some stage to take its' chance.
