Additions to form guides and replay service

Over the years, we have seen so many changes to betting opportunities with corporate bookies, what about some new ideas in our form guides and the data provided ?

The difficulty is where you receive that information:

- so many opportunities and so much variation in the information we read.

Sites like "Racenet" and "Racing and Sports" provide outstanding information and do a great job with extra commentary and sectionals - they are outstanding.

It's like race replays - each state offers such varied services

Without doubt, the video service is Racing NSW is easily the fastest and most interactive website to watch race replays and run quick comparisons with other horses in a replay and who they have raced against.

it is fast and informative with an easy option to scrub replays forward/back to see which horses have made ground in a race etc.

My classic table of preference for each states own website replay service is:

10/10 - NSW: https://www.racingnsw.com.au/

8/10 - QLD: https://www.racingqueensland.com.au/

7/10 - S.A: https://racingsa.com.au/

5/10 - W.A: https://www.rwwa.com.au/

As for the Victorian service with multiple adverts and the inability to clearly scrub the vision forward/back - I cannot provide a rating and find it difficult to bet on midweek racing without the ability to efficiently see the replays.

So if you arrive from overseas and have the desire to have a bet in Australia - which one site can you go to for "unrestricted license vision" of race replays,

Should it not be the responsibility of RACING AUSTRALIA https://www.racingaustralia.horse/ to provide the "free and efficient" data from a race and with free vision for every race replay in Australia

Forget form comments and projections of who should win and why they lost a previous race - leave that to the corporate bookmakers.

My reference is to actual data [with steward's commentary] and vision of race replays.

Extra data from Racing Australia and form guides

Commenting as a breeder, we could have so much data included that would stop the need for tireless hours of research.

• Female Family number of the runner:

  • At a glance, you can cross reference distance strengths of certain female families, which stallions has black type winners are from mares of certain female families etc. The information is in the database - punters may be amazed how certain family numbers win more races than others.

• Dam Sire and GrandDam Sire :

  • Many overseas form guides and websites display this information on all runners [normally in brackets beside the Dams name].

  • You can see the nick of the Dam - "even show % of W-T-R of that nick"

  • Reads like:

    • Zoustar x ABC [Blushing Groom / Lyphard] 30r - 19w - 63%

• Stallion lineage:

  • You can see many of my blogs on this site, it is very clear that certain stallion clusters [I measure them at nick 24 from origin] produce more winners than others.

    • Danehill

    • Mr Prospector

    • Encosta De lago

    • Green Desert

    
    

    These 4 stallion clusters have produced the winners of 151 or the 236 races so far in Australia this spring, information you need to record each week - wouldn't the knowledge of that data assist in guiding you with selections ?

  
  

" If you do not measure it, you cannot improve it "

With the evolution of A.I and the access to data / technology, surely this is not a difficult request.

In the years ahead, you should be able to create your own criteria combining data of your choice and free replays at your fingertips.

Until then, its endless hours of data research and cross referencing 5 different websites to watch race replays.....
