CPLAN WORKS WELL AT THE HEATH
The first race meeting at the Caulfield Heath track took place yesterday and the first two C Plan races ever were both successful so nothing wrong with the track or the form.
The problem for Winform/GTX users is that with an expected 12 meetings a year on this surface it will be years before we can make definitive assessments of the barriers or the form from that track compared to others .
Are the times they run assessable the same as the main Caulfield Track? Is the composition of the track comparable for wet and dry racing conditions? HOW DO THE BARRIER ASSESSMENTS work compared to the Main Track? They should be different.
In the meantime Winform assessments will generally be made using form at other tracks. GTX users can easily check any form from The Heath to discern if a horses form from that track is better than the assessed form from elsewhere.
STRATHALBYN
We started off the Strathalbyn meeting with a top rated $34 winner. I was at a reunion lunch with my two sisters and Ros so had to head off before I could check it all out.
Plenty of other good days ahead.
LAUGH TIME AT THE TRIBUNAL
In Australia vernacular (common use of language) a monkey is a “pest” or “overactive person”. For children the expression “cute little monkey” is common.
To explain further, think of the term “monkeying around” which is clearly the way our “Rooster” was thinking but given a further bit of feeling by adding “effing’.
Perhaps someone should take the NRL judiciary aside and explain this to them. They are right of course, it is not the players though who need educating, except to keep out the bad language, it is the Judiciary.
This is the book that best explains the C Plan using Winform or other ratings such as skyratings.
It also explains how to use First Starter information to add to the Plan as a second string.
