If you want to know how to win at horse racing through steady, sensible form study — not hype, and not luck — this episode is about the habit that finds the horse everyone else skipped.

What you'll learn:
• Why most form study is really just hunting for permission to back the one you already fancied
• How to give every runner the same five minutes, including the ones you'd normally dismiss
• The single question that unlocked both winners: where has this horse already done it?
• Why a horse's record at the distance can matter more than its last-start finish
• How a good first-up performer leaves a pattern you can check in a minute
• A way to make the whole job manageable when doing every race is too much This episode is built on Alan Jacobs's article for Practical Punting, November 1995. The races are long gone; the method hasn't aged a day.
