The VFB's IDH variable

The IDH variable now available on the VFB is very handy when used together with LDH. Sometimes, it looks confusing when a horse that is miles behind on handicap ratings, comes out and wins, usually favourite or well backed. This is because the VFB has under estimated it - a positive IDH (+1 ) or better stlll IDH+2 , is a good indicator. I would have this useful variable in one of my columns/headers.

More useful on the flat I have found mate though its not that much of a decider in the shite grades - nor does it differentiate between tracks like Kempton and Wolverhampton on the AW which is about all you will get till next flat season !

Agreed Bob, I just thought I'd point out that it does have some usefulness...is that a word?
