Simple Sectionals
14.30 Fontwell. Rothman
Here we can show an example of simplistic sectionals. Firstly we use the course form. The GeeGeez Geegee Fontwell run on G/s timeform ground can be used here, and from the 3rd last fence to the winning line he recorded 48.5 seconds.
We can now look @ Rothman on the same course. According to timeform the ground was again recorded as G/s. Rothman covered this same distance from the 3rd last in 40.4 Seconds. This would now appear that Rothman is a better proposition than, The Geegeez GeeGee.
Next we can look @ King Of Glory and compare with Rothman on Wincanton running. Both these runs were recorded on Timeform ground described as Heavy.
King Of Glory recorded 42.4 seconds from the 3rd last fence.
Rothman came home from this same marker in 41.1 seconds. Again this makes Rothman look a better proposition than King of Glory.
As stated previously, these sectionals are pretty limited, compiling these times are also quite time consuming, and the jury is still, well and truely out, on if these are actually any use at all, also if they are actually worth the effort invloved. They certainly are food for thought, if nothing else. Let us see today how Rothman performs.
These workshops are intended to get your mind thinking on different approaches to racing, where by you may not be following the crowd, so in doing something a little different you may be able to obtain value in the longterm.
Rothman is a Simplistic Sectional qualifier
In the 15.00 @ Fontwell using a similar method this looks quite tight between Lami Serge and Different Gravey. If the ground is Soft you would have to favour Different Gravey. The ground is described as G/s Soft places by timeform. I will side with Lami Serge using the times. Different Gravey 46.8 Soft. Lami Serge 45.3 G/s. As you see it is rather tight.
I personally tend to be a little biased when a chaser returns to hurdles as I feel there may be a tendency to over jump.
