Hello Papa John

My own way is to look at a horses races where it runs well,
How can I tell if it has been running well, and will it continue to run well today?

I look at the last line (always look at the last line)
Now is today's distance and class comparable to race were the horse has run its plus races? Is today's race within 21 days of the last race?
If not I would need to see at least a 36 3 furlong work or anything 4 furlongs or longer. ( these are west cost parameters)

Today's race needs to be within 90 days

I use a horse's full TPR lifetime records to rate its last line
If the line can be excused I do not hold a poor TPR rating against it.
If a horse TPRs are getting worse in recent races without excuses,
I look at the horse as going off form.
