The complex life of weight appreviations

Postby Fixador » Mon Nov 12, 2012 3:03 pm

Ever being foxed by those complex appreviations that appear behind the weight in racecards ? I have being, and am still - so time to appear stupid - and ask a question :oops:

Can anyone enlighten me on the meaning of the following appreviations appearing in SpL cards behind the weight :-

t, b, t1, v1, h, b1, bt, p, pt, be, hb, pt, bet, ht

t = tongue tie
b = blinkers
h = hood (?)
p = cheekpieces

not sure what e would be.

Where the is a 1 suffix it means that the horse is wearing the equipment for the first time.

e could be earplugs but I don't think they are used very often.

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
