PEAKING FORM

When can horses be expected to strut their absolute best?

The trick is to recognize peaking form before it has been expressed on the racetrack for everyone to behold. One highly identifiable pattern that precurses peak performance combines the twin elements of positive form.

Following a much improved race, significantly improved form in competition, or a much-improved race.

Significantly improved workouts in relation to prior workouts following the much-improved race.

Whenever this double-edged positive pattern appears, handicappers can expect a peaked performance to follow.
