Race Names/Types

[mathare]

I'm revamping the spreadsheet I use to record my bets so that I can do more analysis on the data. Which types of races am I doing well in, which can't I find winners in, that sort of thing. But I am slightly stuck when it comes to some of the race types indicated by the name.

Is there anywhere on the net that explains all the different possible race types in nice simple terms?

Don't know about race types but I know all about their food. Chinese is nice. Cooked in a Wok. Indian is even nicer. Cooked in a corner shop. Never had Nigerian. Wouldn't eat Sushi ( a little underdone for my liking ) and anything American is usually nice and should see you on the waiting list for the heart surgeon in a matter of years.

Hope this helps :D

Yeah, that's a great help, thanks :)

Seriously though, is there anywhere that can tell me the difference between a maiden and a nursery, who is elegible for a beginners race and why some maiden auctions have the word median in the title? Just a few of the many questions I have...

Found this for you Mat - should help a bit - and useful for anyone confused by the various terms in use (including me!)

Cheers BigC, between them they seem to cover just about everything I need to know :)

Yeah but don't forget if you really do get any questions on food, just come see me about it :D
