Wolverhampton Pace Bias
Posted by slipperytoad as Betting Strategy, Race Course
For those of you who are not regular readers of my blog, the foundation stone of my handicapping is pace analysis.
For the approach to work, one requires a knowledge of the prevailing track pace bias.
Previous at Wolverhampton any horse drawn low that raced prominently over 5,6 and 7 furlongs instantly made the shortlist. Having just updated my pace charts for Wolverhampton I note a fundamental change in the track bias which now favours hold up horses over 6 and 7 furlongs.
Not sure if this is due to the long spell of dry weather we have had (polytrack rides deeper when there is no moisture in the air) or the Clark of the Course has instructed the maintenance boys to harrow the track a bit deeper.
Either way I shall keep on eye on the bias as there may be opportunities to oppose short priced front runners at tasty prices in the coming weeks.
