20-11-2018 Greyhound Racing Form Guide update – IMPLEMENTED
The idea behind this is to stop having races with one or more dogs having no comparable form where this is available. i.e Same track and distance.
This is the original form for the 18.09 at Monmore (20-11-2018).
Trap 4’s last 5 runs have been over 630m and today they run at 480,
The proposed change is to keep the last 3 runs as they are but put comparable form in the last two lines where this is available. i.e. the last two runs at Monmore over 480. So we get this :
The affected rows will be highlighted so you will know this change has been made.
A column for race date has also been added.
This was put in to show how relevant the added form lines are but the date will be included as standard in all greyhound form from now on.
A flag could be added here to let you know if a dog has been off the track for over a month, two months?
Please let us know what you think.
Why keep the last three runs? To keep the indication of how the dog has been running lately – especially if the comparable runs were a while ago. Again…your comments welcome.
If the changes are not objected to then they will be implemented week commencing 3rd December.
