Gold Nuggets #4: Using QT to Find Race Trends
In this week's Gold Nuggets, I show you how to use our awesome Query Tool to drill down into a race's history in search of profiles, patterns and, heck let's say it, trends! I've used the example of the Thyestes Chase, a high class extended three-mile handicap which often throws up a Grade 1 performer of the future. See what you think...

I was looking at some of the races at Naas today where the going is Good to Yielding and realised that, despite many years betting, I don’t really know the difference between Yielding & Soft (and hence also Good to Soft/Yielding, Soft/Yielding to Heavy & Yielding to Soft).
I imagine it is somehow connected to the reading taken by the Clerk of the course on the Going Stick but I can’t find any guidance or commentary anywhere – hoping someone on Geegeez can help.
