Yeah great effort Paul. its been bubbling under the surface ever since My Archie Way joined the stable as i mentioned in this thread a week ago...post 51Originally Posted by Toohard
Kiesey trifecta Race 6 Hamilton today.
"Tiroroa Idol wins the 3rd trot easily from Candy Digger who picks up her 4th 2nd in a row!!! The Kiesey stable 2nd,3rd,4th!
4 days ago they grabbed a 1st, 2nd, 4th!!
If theres not a stable trifecta or even first 4 looming somewhere quite close by, ill be surprised.
New stable addition My Archie Way a better run today, looked way better in the home straight, but was hanging a bit final turn, good signs in general tho."
And it only took a week. Archie is racing really well at the moment so the transfer from "regular" racing to "Kiesey" racing having multiple runs in a few days has certainly done no harm to him...hes actually racing better under Brians training now.
I take it from your "smiley face "Paul you got on the Trifecta???
I was all over it like a fat kid on a cupcake!

Who doesn't love the trotters!!!
its funny you know, when i was at Maryborough Redwood Carnival i was watching a guy who had massive printouts of form guides highlighter texta pens, writing notes and jotting down stuff which is great but i got the impression he does that for every meeting he goes to for all races and probably all meetings he may watch on Sky, so he has loads of paper about hundreds and hundreds of horses from RO to CO to C9 to MO to T1 to T2 TMO TM1 etc etc. thats too much stuff! Then i nearly fell over when there was about 5 guys watching a replay of a previous race and he says"whose that going around 3 wide there?"
I couldn't believe he didn't know who the horse was based on the look of the horse in that class of race, its posture (if i may) the way it physically carries itself, body language and the colours it wore (yes colours can change...)
Instantly i knew the horse he was asking about at the time was called Right Side Up, a small dark horse, slim neck fine body, green colours.
I reckon i could tell you who nearly and i say nearly any trotter that races regularly in Vic NSW or Qld is just by looking at them on the screen so long as they have their regular colours on and regular gear.
Now i only follow the trots part time, i'm certainly no Pro punter but i reckon you could have more success if you concentrate on a certain segment of the overall horses so you REALLY know them by looks, by who's a good beginner, who's faster at the start than that other good beginner, whose reliable to trot and not gallop in the trotters example vs a horse who may have more ability but a mental case, who specialises in Mob starts vs SS races, who prefers 2100m to 2500m etc etc.
I reckon if someone concentrated on the Claimers you would get to know them nearly ALL (and yes they come and go) in a few weeks and be more successful than trying to win a dollar and any race where you don't INTIMATELY know every horse.
Hence i only take notice of trotters races from a betting perspective, i reckon i have watched, replayed, replayed the last 200-400m in slow motion, fast forwarded the last 200-400 in fast motion, replayed the start, replayed the start again, paused and analysed every trot in Vic for the last maybe 3-4 years 7 days a week. And this works...i don't reckon you can do that with over 40 races a day sometimes in Australia or maybe 20 a day in 1 state.
Just my opinion, interesting to see what others may do, if anyone else "specialises" in say 3YO racing only? Or Melton weekend racing only for example.
However as this is the trotters thread, not too many people may be reading it anyway!
