Sample Horse Racing Form Guide

A screen capture of Bet Selector's Extra Form can be found below. The reason it is called "Extra" form is because the program uses your 10 start form downloads and goes through past downloads to find all the extra past runs (subject of course to you having downloaded enough past form guides).

A detailed glossary of terms can be found at the end of this page. Note you can click on the image to see a larger view in a separate window.

New in 2026: Graphs of past run ratings now automatically appear on the VIEW EXTRA FORM detailed form pages. You can graph past class, time or weight ratings depending on which radio button you have selected in Price Predictor viz class, time or weight. Note yellow indicates good and firm tracks while the aqua/blue colours indicate wet tracks (the lighter aqua shade being soft and the darker blue shade being heavy). Note also the past start ratings and margins appear inside the bar at the top and bottom respectively (dates and distances appear below the bars).
