Look back through the cards - Saturday 4th November 2023
Last weekend we had the Charlie Hall meeting at Wetherby which was a cracking meeting.
Let's have a look back through the card from Saturday at Wetherby and see what jumped out at us. We archive all the previous cards for you to look back at and help shape your data strategies.
You can access the archives here.
12:40 - Wetherby
CHERIE DAM was the clear winner here by 5 lengths in the Novices Hurdle and ended up at 6/5.
From our ratings, Cherie Dam boasted our Top LR, Top SPD, Top HRS and Top FRN ratings, which are highlighted in bold.
Not sure about the LR, SPD, HRS, FRN etc? See our Today's Cards page explained article.
1:15 - Wetherby
No joy from any of our top rated ratings in the second race, with THE EDGAR WALLACE the winner at 9/2 joint favourite.
Remember that our Top Rated selections don't win all the time and these are simply highlights on what the data is suggesting for our form factors.
1:50 - Wetherby
Back on track with our top rated with YOU WEAR IT WELL winning at 2/1. Top Rated 2LR, 3LR and our Top FRN too.
LUCCIA was a nice second too and next best on our FRN, as well as Top HRS.
2:25 - Wetherby
Another win for the Top FRN rating with BOTOX HAS rocking up at 15/2. Also boasting our Top SPD rating as well.
3:00 - Wetherby
Only four went to post for the feature race, the Charlie Hall Chase. All eyes were on Bravemansgame from the bookies & pundits, but it was a surprise win from GENTLEMANSGAME at 7/2 that took the glory.
3:30 - Wetherby
Huge difference in Top FRN for WINDTOTHELIGHTNING being 75 points clear on our FRN (Form Ratings Number) of the next best, to win this at 4/1. Not only Top LR, 2LR and Top SPD too.
Top SPD did well in this race with HAAFAPIECE finishing second at 12/1 for some good place money.
4:08 - Wetherby
Another win for our Top FRN rating and also Top HRS, with NOT SURE being a very sure winner at 15/2.
BALI BODY another of note finishing second at 16/1 with a next best Top FRN and a Top LR rating.
If you like your forecasts, that was the second winning forecast of the day with our Top FRN and next best Top FRN rating.
All of our ratings can be sorted by simply clicking on the column header, so if there's a rating you wish to sort to see the top, 2nd, 3rd etc, just click on the rating header.
Hope that provides an insight into the cards and how to see patterns in the data. It's not a case of just blindly backing bold, but we do highlight our highest ratings in bold to give you an idea on how high we rate the selections.
A few other thoughts from last Saturday's card at Wetherby:
- Backing the Top HRS & Top FRN rated horses - CHERIE DAM and NOT SURE - would have gained 8.7 points to level stakes.
- Top SPD would have resulted in three winners (6/5, 15/2 & 4/1), two second placed and one third placed selections.
- Following Top LR only, would have only found the two winners - CHERIE DAM (6/5) & WINDTOTHELIGHTNING (4/1).
I always recommend going back through the cards to read through the data and find your own patterns.
