Gold Nuggets #13: Result Reviews, and Creating Tissues
In this extended double header, I cover two topics that I feel are super important for sharpening our understanding of value:
1. Result REviews: this is about looking back at the bigger priced winners on the day and trying to find snippets of form/data that gave the winner a chance. The objective is to a) better understand that every horse has some sort of chance, and b) start thinking more about that chance in terms of the odds available.
2. Creating a ‘Tissue’: That follows neatly into PREviewing a race and using the available information to rank horses in approximately order of their chance, and then to try to create a ’tissue’ or odds line from the information you’ve aggregated. It’s a great way of honing your skills and isolating value. Remember, we’re comparing the tissue prices we come up with against the Starting Price market, not the early prices!
