besides looking at the distance of the race you should also look at the class of the race. when I do my selections I look at different factors in 3 year old race to what I look for in a group 2 or group 1 race.also there are some races thaat i would not consider betting on ie 2 yo, hurdles, steeples, WFA and welter races, From my experience they are not good betting races

bet wise bet smart
