Hong Kong Sha Tin Horse Racing Horse Form

Hong Kong Sha Tin Horse Racing Horse Form Analysis

Introduction


I have been fascinated with horse racing at Sha Tin in Hong Kong along with Happy Valley horse racing. I have written many UK horse racing systems and I have tested these systems using my own worldwide horse racing form database and bespoke computer code that I have written. I have a computer science degree and I was a freelance IT consultant specialising in relational databases on Unix operating systems and was very competent in ‘C’ – programming and SQl queries..

Why I Am So Interested In Hong Kong Horse Racing


Approximately 2 to 3 years ago I became fascinated with Hong Kong horse racing. Something struck a chord with me. I think it was the international jockeys who rode there and top class horses competing for decent winning prize money.
I remember the early days I would perform a quick glance of the horse form for the Sha Tin and Happy Valley race cards in the racing post and thought I had picked some winners and I would be totally disappointed when I checked the results later that day. I used to get caught out with the time difference with the UK as I was more akin to traveling west. I used to miss the two major horse racing meetings in Hong Kong due to this time difference.

Sha Tin Horse Racing Form


This was the dilemma!


How do I read Sha Tin and Happy Valley horse racing form and where do I start I used to ask myself.


To be honest the prize money for the horse races at Sha Tin and Happy Valley was always the same so I had no class angle on a race. Secondly I would see a horse win a race and then lose 4 or 5 races and then win again at the same track. I checked the winning race times and other horse form data and I still could not see a pattern. 
There seemed to be very little emphasis on draw bias so I asked myself what aspect of horse form do I home in on.
