Is your horse a consistent performer?
A quick look at the horses form line will indicate what type of performer it is. If it wins and then falls or comes well down the field then this is a clear sign that the horse isn't a consistent runner. Some horses can drift in between winning and losing badly and this isn’t the type of horse that you want for a show bet.
Let's take a look at some example form lines.
Take Hoorah Henry with the following results in his previous ten races.
1-8-1-7-6-1-9-U-9-1
Hoorah Henry might have four victories but his six poor performances are worrying if you are looking for him to finish in a place. Now, compare that to another horse called Mustang Sally.
3-2-2-3-4-3-2-5-3-2

Although Mustang Sally hasn't recorded a win, this horse has never placed lower than fifth and only finished twice outside of the top three. While Hoorah Henry may be a more successful horse in terms of titles, race wins, and prize money, it's Mustang Sally that represents a better proposition for betting.
