Horses to Follow is a monthly list of horses that have shown they are ready to win or run a big race in coming weeks.
Horses tend to improve the most in their first one to five runs after a spell. All horses are different and some do race best when first-up of fresh, but generally when a racehorse returns to the track after a spell they may require from 1 to 5 races before being fit enough to win or run a good race.
When looking for horses to follow we are trying to identify horses that are in the early stages of their campaign and have shown a 'ready to win' signal that says be on me next time, and if placed correctly in a race by their trainer they are capable of a win.

Ready to win signals
Leader - Leaders that weaken in straight to finish within 4 lengths of winner.
On Pacer - On pace all the way and weakens to finish within 4 lengths of winner
Closer - Flashes down the outside at a rate of knots to run a place or just miss
Good Winner - Easy win by 2-3 lengths or more as ensuing weight rise won't stop them
Bad Luck - Horses
who could have won or run a place except for bad luck in running
2nd Best - Horses that finish second but finish 3 lengths or more in front of the rest
In an ideal world we are picking horses that fall in the above criteria range and expecting them to either win or run very well in their next 3 starts or over an 8 week period.
