The Start Of Something Big

Hello and welcome to the first THRL newsletter. We intend to send out each newsletter at the start of every month and it is our intention to include only the most useful articles, news and reviews.THRL is building up a substantial UK based horse racing link directory, and we personally check and review each site. If you know of any sites not currently listed let us know . There is a long way to go before we reach the kind of content we are looking for so keep checking the site as it is updated daily.

Featured website of the month - Tipsters Review

Every month we intend to feature a website of the month. From the end of July we subscribed to a number of tipster services and found the 2% Racing Syndicate to be the only one to make a profit, for a level stakes bet of £100 we made £1287.50.

The results:
Dawn Invasion 31/07/02 - WON at 12/1 e/w = £750 profit
Tancred Times 14/08/02 - LOST at 16/1 = £100 loss
Fayr Jag 17/08/02 - LOST at 3/1 = £100 loss
Timing 23/08/02 - WON at 11/8 = £137.50 profit
Phamedic 23/08/02 LOST = £100 loss
Golden Nun 29/08/02 LOST = £100 loss
Unshakable 30/08/02 WON at 8/1 = £800 profit
TOTAL WINNINGS at £100 Level stakes = £1287.50

In our brief 4 week test, 2% Racing Syndicate was the only service to show a profit. We are not sure whether this is representative of every month and we would be pleased to hear of any more feedback regarding this and other tipping services. I have to be honest after since a great month, I am now a member of the 2% service. http://www.2percentracing.com

October Speed form ratings

Provided by Simon Walton of Proform UK Racing form analysis

"All the horse's I note here are based on my own speed ratings. I have created a list of median speed ratings for each class of race for NH, Flat and A/W. The horses noted below are winners which achieved a speed rating much better than my median speed ratings for the class of the race it contested."

Explanation of Layout

The first line holds the horse name and the date / meeting that the better than class rating was produced on.

The second line holds the Official Going and then my Adjusted Going based on the speed ratings recorded at the meeting that day. The figure in brackets is how many seconds per mile the track was speeding up or slowing down horses at this particular meeting, this is the going allowance. A going allowance of 0.00 would be perfect GOOD going so a plus allowance would be faster going and a minus allowance slower going.

The third line contains a summary of the race and the speed rating recorded, along with how many points higher then class the speed rating was, this is compared to the median speed rating for the class of race contested which is also shown in brackets next to the class of the race.

This months horses to follow, back each one on their next 3 starts
BOREAS: 20/08/02 – York
Official Going: GOOD - Going Adjustment: (+0.22) GOOD
Another good speed rating from BOREAS and the step up in trip suited. Produced a rating of 86, which is +11 above this Class A (75) race.

ORIENTOR: 07/09/02 – Haydock
Official Going: GOOD to FIRM - Going Adjustment: (-0.15) GOOD
I have followed this horse since last season and this year he as proved a very good horse without winning. Produced a rating of 75 finishing 4th @ 33/1, which is bang on par for this Class A (75) race. His previous ratings this year have also been top class with another rating of 75 and two 81’s, he is capable of taking a decent race this Autumn and enjoys a bit of cut in the ground.

LADY BEAR: 26/08/02 – Ripon
Official Going: GOOD - Going Adjustment: (-1.69) GOOD to SOFT
Produced a rating of 75 winning @ 6/1, which is +7 above this Class C (68) race. Lady Bear runs very well in the Autumn and given similar ground conditions could clock up a few wins.
