THE STORY
BEHIND
THE FORM.

Horse racing form analysis looks beyond finishing positions to understand performance, competition, preparation and the circumstances surrounding each race.

What Is Horse Racing Form Analysis?

Form analysis involves assessing a horse's previous performances to understand its demonstrated ability, consistency and racing profile.

A finishing position alone does not always explain the quality of a performance or the circumstances in which it was achieved.

Why Recent Form Matters

Recent races can provide important information about a horse's current level, preparation stage and ability to perform under different conditions.

A horse's recent performances should be considered alongside the quality of races contested and the opposition faced.

Race Quality and Form Strength

Not all form performances carry the same meaning. The strength of the race, the level of competition and the conditions experienced can influence how a performance should be interpreted.

Understanding Performance Patterns

Patterns across multiple races can help identify consistency, improvement or changes in performance level.

Distance, track conditions, race shape and preparation can all contribute to understanding a horse's racing profile.

Preparation and Improvement

A horse's preparation history can provide context around whether it may be maintaining form, improving or returning to a preferred racing situation.

Combining Form With Race Assessment

Form analysis is one part of a broader racing assessment process. Ratings, sectional times, race conditions and competition quality can all contribute to understanding a racing opportunity.
