Reading Greyhound Form?

[kompressaur]

Ok so i dont have any links for greyhounds that gives me a good form guide. Ive got a link to the sporting life in the quick links above but i aint sure that this is what i want
Sporting Life - Greyhounds News | Greyhound Results, Greyhound News, Greyhound Racecards, Greyhound Tips & Statistics From Around The UK

Just from looking at that i have to ask questions anyhow and i will be showing my inexperience. Whats under the Others heading? bk bd etc?

27.59 is that the time to the ....errrrrrrr shit...thats the trapping time aint it?

A5 is a better grade than A6. anything else i should know there?

STm/Hcp: - Known as the sectional time or split time, the STm shows the time it took the dog to cross the winning line the first time round. It is greyhound's early pace and gives you a clue as to the chances of that dog leading the race. For handicap races, instead of showing the split time, how much of a start the dog received is shown.

Reading the form at the dogs

That must be that 27:59 time. I think i now see how little i knew about the dogs. truth be told i go by some supernatural force that i am just a good guesser in things like these. again all info and thoughts and advice appreciated

T2 race is a 2 dog trial, A6 is a graded race with 6 runners.

trials are decent indicators for a dogs speed over the distance and assessing health.. if youre expecting ti to get a clear run, otherwise theyre pointless.

its a bit difficult to explain how to read the form in too much detail here, im in an internet cafe so cant cut and paste images from the RP website but if i remember later i can put together a dog form for dummies style post.

theres not much on the form guide that should be ginored tbh

A6 is the 6th best 4 bend graded race...A1 is for best dogs,A2 for second best dogs etc.

Most tracks grade A1 to A10
