With the national hunt season just round the corner I thought you might like to see a few thoughts and ideas I have picked up over the years.
My betting procedures are not to much different to the ordinary hurdle races, I certainly avoid any short priced flat bred horse especially over any extended trip like 2 and half miles.
Before you have a bet it is simply best to ignore anything the horse has done on the flat, hurdling is a whole new ball game.
