I agree100%, but I am not sure it isn't a bit more generalised .......................My records show that between Sept and November EVERY year ,results become far more unpredictable throughout the country!

I am not sure ,but to date,my feeling is that innoculations are the main contributor.
I did try and consider evidence whether it was perhaps change of season surface changes ,prepping for seasons and various other possibilities (some of which may of course, contribute)
It is the reason I suggested some time ago that I believe that punters should be educated in the effect of innoculations and then be advised of the dates of innoculations ,.....................(they show dates of gelding,blinkers ,alumites etc which affect form, in Computaform.)

Just on this point ,I believe that Computaform failed in their quest to provide the very best info.........................the most useful column they could ever provide would be the official rating of every run ...............the handicappers have the records and it would be a piece of cake!(Sporting Post already provide their ratings and it is useful ,but a comparison with the official ones would be invaluable)
Many patterns and answers could be seen at a glance.................the only reason I can think of for not providing that info would be embarrassment of not taking any regulatory notice of erratic formlines!

The better three year olds and older horses for that matter are just about to make their seasonal debuts and the ones which are running are relatively unexposed and do get rolled by other three year olds and or older horse with worse exposed form, but the penny has dropped (on race day) and arrives at any price.

I don't believe the track has anything to do with it, after all, they all running on the same track, not like the winner ran on the turf all alone.

Just my opinion.
