Nice work Adz. FU Critic.

[arbboy]

The wides are def favoured at Hove.  t1 and t6 in last were in photo when 1 3 lengths quicker on best times over C&D.  6 looks a strong bet at 5/1 now in the 1011pm

Surely that's not relevant to determining a bias. Screen Critic the faster dog.

Assuming both dogs run to their best form and no trouble (it was a clean race) then if the dogs cross the line together and one is 25 spots quicker than the other you would have to expect the 3 lengths to be made up by the bias everything else being equal.  Given the rest of the night's results i think it's pretty clear this was the case and the reason why 6 went off a strong fav ahead of 1 even though 1 was a much quicker dog on best form.

I'd had the double on Finas and. Chicago, went in again with Critic and thought it ran a great race, just didn't keep it's head in front. Very unlucky but a great running dog, one to keep an eye on.

What do you think of Coolmore Joe at 12-1 for Henlow Derby, touch overpriced?

Generally that's true, and I'm not arguing that there wasn't a bias, but Screen Critic has ran 29:80-29:90 and the times are generally considered to be +30 with the new traps so Critic was probably the slightly faster dog. Especially given his times were recent.

Not arguing, was just trying to figure out the logic.

The calculated times are adjusted for the new traps.  Not sure if you read the article in the post the standard going now when its normal is -30 not 0.

critic's best calc time is 29.86 in an open with a clear run.  T1 has done 29.69 in trouble recently and numerous 29.70s in the past calculated.

[scotty2hatty]

Got you, didn't realise they'd adjusted. Thanks.

yer if u look at recent hove cards most are -30 when they would normally be 0 ie normal going.  I am struggling to find the article in the rpost which was a week or so ago.  I made the same mistake as you before i read the article.

What tongiht did show is what a real deal chicago is running like that against that bias.

Sat next to Mark Wallis for about 3 levels of the GUKPT London yesterday.

Kinda strange to be chatting to a legend in a poker tournament when virtually zero of the other players would know who he was.

Proper nice bloke too.

Wow, I heard he went over for the WSOP main event, seems he is really into poker, any good? Must have been quite nice being able to talk to him, isn't he moving to Towcester when it opens?

Notts 8:22 t1 11/10 with 366, odds on everywhere else, should win, if want to be risk adverse can lay back on bf later.

more rain today seems to be favouring the middle/wide dogs at both afternoon BAGS meetings at Monmore and Swindon this afternoon from the first 4/5 races.
