Hi all - are there any sites in Aus similar to Patternform or the like which help identify horses such as front runners etc.?

thanks for your help

Whilst it's not ideal, here is a source but obviously you would need to download a lot to get history on particular runners.

Accidentally placed a back bet at the bottom of the spread, as I moved my mouse pointer across the ladder. :(

Someone's giving his money away at Rosehill - green book on the first race despite my blunder. :D

It's shit and roses at Rosehill, where you can make your biggest cock-up of the month and still end up with a good result. :D

Is Sandown Hillside (VIC, Thursday) an extended name for Sandown or is it a different track?

It's on tomorrow and I think its the inside track (you've probably seen Randwick called Kensington as well)

Thanks Naffman. I thought I better check after getting Warwick and Warwick Farm confused. I've never heard of Kensington other than the one in London.

It's quite confusing with so many Aussie tracks named after places in the UK. :)

It’s the same track ... Hillside is the outer track and Lakeside the inner track.. they use the same back and home straight and same bends past the winning post and into the back straight .. its just the bends at the other end of the track that are different, outer bends are Hillside,which gives it the greater circumference.

Think Sandown is also known as Ladbroke Park ( one of its many name changes, having previously been William Hill Park !!)

Light Fingers won the Sandown Guineas way back(1964) and went on to become the first of Bart Cummings twelve Melbourne Cup winners

Yep.. Kensington is the All Weather track on the inside of Randwick’s turf course

Just added link with details of metropolitan tracks,( better liquidity ) and I’m guessing you use Racenet site which has all details of tracks etc.

Also added link to nz trackside radio( tho you probably use it ) as gives most commentaries live thru the night,and during the day, including some meetings not on ATR etc I usually have it on all the time if I’m trading thru the night

Thanks Halliday. That explains why I see the name of a bookie instead of the track on racing.com - free live video of some tracks.
