I wouldn't use the Hcaps races either.

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.

Hi WTFH,

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. :lol:

As Juke said, D races are the sprint races. Can't explain why the odds move differently on these ones though.

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.

Thanks for that. But like you said, doesnt explain why the odds move to extremes very quickly. :o

True.

This is an example of what I mean.

An A-grade type, ran well in a sprint, D-Grade, back to A-Grade and dropped in grade.

Hi,

Does anyone have an Excel sheet that works with Guardian whereby you can load up Greyhound names in a seperate tab and it will place bets on those selections ?

Cheers,
