Here is that document for people to download and read, maybe review this video again with that document handy:

Scott's Form Factors (from William L Scott's book: How Will Your Horse Run Today). Document compiled by Mick T (thanks Mick!)

The video replay of today's webinar will follow soon.

Ted, you're welcome and I'm sure Tim did a great job. I had the privilege of being a guest in Tim and Sue's home near Belmont and I watched Tim perform his magic. Not only is he a great guy, he's one of the best horse players I've ever known. My life has been enriched by the friendships I've gained by being a part of the Pace and Cap family.

Thanks for the kind words Mick. You are always welcome to visit again if you are in the area. And thanks again to you for doing that wonderful recap of the Scott material.

Hi Jeff. I use his failure guidelines in Chap 10 his book Winning At The Races. He details the difference between a bad race and a failure[a lot of people tend to think a bad race in the last dooms the horse]. And yes I generally downgrade a horse which has a failure in its' last race[ in some races every contender has some kind defect and then I leave the tier rank stand]. It is important to read the conditions of the race. For example the 4 in race 2 last 2 races were for $12,500 but look carefully and you will see that 2 back was a condition n2l race while the last was for open company. That would make a the difference in charging the horse with a failure or not. For instance 2 back it finished 2nd. If the last race was also a 12,500 n2l it would have considered a failure because it did not accomplish what it had done 2 back if it didn't have the trouble excuse.
