The Value of Black Bookers
As Punters and we are all our own Form Analysts we often see a horse who is Held Up or sits wide and has a genuine excuse to why it has not performed as well as expected or we have spotted one of those Back me runs next time which mostly everyone has seen but why we look very deeply into form and look at horses which we give Our own set of ratings such as-
Increase/Decrease in Weights
Jockey Change-Positive/Minus
Barrier Draw-advantaged/disadvantaged
Track Bias
In Form Stables/Jockeys
Above are just a few Factors to consider.
Of course at Tipm8.com we have numerous Analysts who do this all for you watching countless Hours of Live Racing, Trial Replays and scouring through Steward Reports to find the next Value Runner but we should All have our own little list of Black Bookers as it can teach you the importance of form from the relevance of Barriers to track conditions and how a track played out then apply any advantage from One start to the next.
Over the course of the next few Months we will be adding Punters Workshops and add Tools that will help you dissect Key Factors on how to Best arrive at your next Black Booker and we often find as an Example one of Our latest Winners-
1st x RENALOT @ $4.60
We tipped it last start at Wyong on 9/3 when it ran a strong 2nd it falls under the next start Winner stat that really does have a better than 70% Win S/R for Tipm8.com and after it ran a strong 2nd in a Harder graded race at Wyong @ $14 it then raced at Orange with less Weight and against less opposition. Sure the odds were not Impressive but e have also had many examples in which a Horse stated $6 then Wins it’s very next start @ $15 as I mentioned there are more than 70% of these. Just an amazing stat that is proof Black Bookers (BB) Work.
RISA -Racing Australia www.risa.com.au
Is who I can highly recommend with viewing Form as you can quickly see recent form and open up more comprehensive from highlighting where each horse sat in the run and all the major contributing factors it also helps to see in addition to below with the Governing bodies of racing you can type in a Horse name and see where that horse has nominated for and if it has the weight allocated etc.
WHERE TO WATCH HORSE RACING REPLAYS
The Internet has really revolutionised the ability for racing fans and punters to be able to access horse racing replays, form and sectional times, and if you have enough time on your hands, doing the form has never been easier.
While a few sites charge a fee for their premium services, there are still plenty of sites dedicated to informing punters, and their content is free.
Here is a list of sites to visit so you can access free racing replays.
VICTORIA
Racing.com is the place to go to for all Victorian racing and trial replays. You need to sign up to use their service, but considering it really is a service you can’t do without, the quick sign-up process is well worth your time. The search bar at the top of the homepage makes finding any replay as easy as 1, 2, 3 – literally. Just type the name of a horse you are looking for, click on the name when it appears and you will be taken to that horses profile page which features each race replay from Victoria.
NSW
RacingNSW has a fantastic free service to find results and replays for country and provincial meetings and trials in NSW. To access replays, simply click on ‘Race Diary and Information’ in the menu bar and then click on ‘Recent Results’ in the drop down menu. A list of race meetings will appear and once you select the meeting you are looking for, the results with race replay and last 400m videos will appear. Too easy!!
SOUTH AUSTRALIA
The Thoroughbred Racing South Australia (TRSA) have a great site with race information, updates, race and trial replays and more importantly, sectional times. Now there replays are only available for approximately three months after each race but the service is still first rate – and did I mention it’s FREE! To access race replays, hover over ‘Race Information’ in the menu bar and then select ‘Race Results and Replays’ from the drop down menu. Click on the meeting you would like to view and then find the photo finish and replay for each race with sectional times available for Metropolitan meetings.
QLD
Racing Queensland provides information on thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing which complicates the site but still provides more than enough information. To find thoroughbred replays, scroll down on the homepage and click the ‘Free Video Replays’ image link.
WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Perth Racing’s website offers replays of all Western Australia thoroughbred racing plus much more. To find the replays, hover over ‘Races’ in the menu bar, click on ‘Race & Trial Replays’ and hey presto, you have access to race replays and trials. You can search by date or horse name which makes finding the replay you’re after really simple.
NORTHERN TERRITORY
The Darwin Turf Club website offers replays of most Darwin races but the site is a clear cut below the other states – give them time though. To find the replays, hover over ‘Races’ in the menu bar, click on ‘Results/Replays’ be taken to a race date search screen. Click on the date you are after and see which replays are available.
TASMANIA
TasRacing offers FREE race replays for every trial and every race for every code – which is great! However, the replays are a little harder to find. Hover over ‘Media Centre’ in the menu bar and click on ‘Race Replays.’ Then scroll down and find ‘Punters Dashboard’ link. When you click on this you will be prompted to Sign-up. If you love Tasmanian racing, it’s really just a formality.
