In 2016, when Gai Waterhouse announced a co-trainer partnership, it was with this polite, humble, not-yet-30 Adrian Bott. Today, he is still polite, still humble and not yet 40.

@ms_peterpan chats to Bott about a decade with @GaiWaterhouse1 and his ambitions for the future.

🏇 New video: G3 Kevin Heffernan Stakes (Caulfield)

I work through the form for each horse, using

📊 WFA Performance Ratings
🔍 Rating context and overall profile strength

to create a forecast rating for every runner and turn that into a 💰price assessment.

I think the market has made a few mistakes, and I’ll show the logic behind why.

If you want to see the form and ratings for every horse and understand how ratings can be used to create your own assessments, this one’s for you 👇

@Matt__Welsh_ Nice one. Tradition is important in racing but so is innovation. Probably the 4000th person to post that nugget.

@RacingtotheMAX There wasn’t a great deal of innovation from PVL when creating The Everest. He essentially copied the Pegasus World Cup.

[Sean @MiniLeviathan]

@J_Walter23 No wonder a few of the big boys in Europe don’t want to bring their horses down here for the Cup. Fly halfway around the world and then…

🚨 Performance in Focus 🚨
Sharper insights powered by TopRate 🔍

Everyone’s talking about Angel Capital’s bad luck in the G1 Sir Rupert Clarke… but Sepals did one of the hardest things in racing - sat outside a brutal tempo and still won 👀

📦 In this episode, I unpack:

➡️ Why his effort deserves more credit
➡️ How others were better suited by the pace
➡️ Why “good luck in the run” is often earned
➡️ What it means looking ahead
