A lot of the time he takes his own times from video recordings. I'd be surprised if he didn't do some kind of analysis for the BC. He has been looking at some of the big races over here and you may find some stuff of interest on his blog. Well worth following him on twitter @RowleyfileRRR. |
I just read Rowland's latest blog on stride analysis at the ATR website. What a promising new concept in handicapping. This should be an invaluable aide in predicting performance when a horse races at a new distance.
Thanks for the link.
