Due to the BHB/HRA's constant meddling over the last 3 years (SR of winning Fav handicappers has dropped 3%), the recent change in the way SP is done (in favour of our bookmaker friends), and now the constant battering by the weather, which is likely to continue for years to come, I have dropped Flat & B bets from the night before info, to concentrate on giving you more quality, namely more reliable NH selections.

Over the last 4 weeks, I've only backed a few of those I've put up the night before, as tracks seldom tell the truth about ground. This week we've have numerous official Gd-Sft, when you only have to look yourself, listen to the jockeys & trainers, notice the high numbers of non-runners to realise this is a load of bull!!!

With NH horse we have years of data to rely on, and handicaps have had very little change, unlike the flat.

The Free midday info will still appear, although again, less flat bets will be given out, especially during strange weather, as these days you have to watch the first race to know what the ground really is.

I think the official Gd-Sft is for the inside of the beer tent only.

All changed already......I've given up watching the flat still the Sun stays out for at least a day.

The other thing about flat method bets I used for the evening updates, not many of them lately, as my horses to follow lists are nearly empty. You can't add anything with such a random mix of ground conditions......now we are approaching 6 weeks!!!!
