Hi there!
Do you think (or know)if there are experience levels for each distance covered in TK?
The thing is, I entered my sprinter horse, which has sprint experience of 10 (not bad), into a 900m sprint race (stakes). The comment before the race is:
"In fine condition. Good vein of form. No expert at this race distance. Vernice Fonteno(A) set to surprise."
Well, expert might indicate above 15 perhaps, on the other hand, this horse has not run any 900m before!

I get this comment occassionally, you have to remember that the tipsters sometimes have no idea what they are talking about it seems.
Personally, I wouldn't worry about it too much. It may do it on set distance, but that seems a bit excessive to me. I'd be happy with a level 10 experience, and not worry about specific race distance experience.

Just went to have a look to see if it had better experience at a different distance, but it doesn't.
Therefore I'm with Foss, in that sometimes the tipster gets it totally wrong.
Nice horse though - coming along well.

I had a horse awe-inspiring at short in a short race that got the 'no good at this distance'. it won.
It may be related to how the horse did last time at the distance, or could be to do with stats. Don't really know, was confused myself at the time and commented in my local forum!
