The Formgrids Experiment

We did an experiment to see if a non-racing person can use Formgrids to predict winners.
See how that experiment went here...Sprinter Sacre Lives Up To The Hype
Sprinter Sacre was seemingly on a hiding to nothing when he lined up for the Queen Mother Champion Chase at this year’s Cheltenham Festival. He had been odds-on favourite for the race for months and he simply had to win, and win well. The opposition was thin on the ground and the only horse for which any case could be made was the eleven-year-old Sizing Europe.

For studiers of English racing please note that there will be horses not showing form where the horses had previously run in France. The form would be from French racing, which, we at Formgrids currently are unable to get hold of.

While this may be a little technical it is worth mentioning that the Formgrids website's performance is rated "Excellent" by a great web product we use called "New Relic". A strange name for a product but it is excellent in finding those elusive performance issues.
