Book Description

A Statistical Study of the Age of Horses-Older Horses or Younger Horses, which fare the best? Do older horses tend to run better than younger horses or vice versa. Is there is any relevance to the age of horses when looking through a race card. Race analysts will often comment on the age of the horse, "probably past its best" or "an in-experienced horse" sometimes for the younger horses. In this book I have tried to see if there is any merit in it. Over a period of time 1731 races were analyzed. Taking the three oldest and the three youngest horses in each race and the results analyzed as well as any profit. The results are divided into handicaps, non handicaps, jumps, flat, all weather etc and numbers of runners; 4-7 runners, 8-11 runners, 12-15 runners and 16+ runners. The book contains tables of win and place percentages for each type of race and profits gained or lost. The book does not contain a betting system or any guarantee of profits to be made; just the results of the analyses in tables.
