Default Re: ATR - Who are we?

Hello guys,
Im 17 years old and live in Swansea, first walked in to a bookies when i was 16 and just attempted accys on the football etc.
Always enjoyed watching Horse Racing on the tele since i was a nipper but i was always more interested in football.

For the past couple of months ive been watching this forum and taking up on some of the info that is posted on here.
However in the last fortnight or so i decided i wanted to try a hand at it myself, ive currently stopped making bets for the time being and started studying. Racing Post is my manual and have started to try and compile a notebook including horses, trainers, jockeys & courses.

Over the past few day ive started to use a very very basic way of picking horses.
1)Look over trainer with a good record at the course.
2)Jockeys with a good record at the course.
3)Have a scan to see what horse(s) the trainer/jockey is running with and analyise the form & ability of the horse.

Not really the most complex of 'system' but a good way to get started i feel, and seems to produce ok results so far.
Ive much to learn as im a complete novice but i hope to get involved on here and look to try new ways of picking winners or places.

Sorry to bore you
