Should we take notice of the Racing Post forecast? by David Renham

Before the advent of the exchanges, the betting forecast in the Racing Post was the starting point for many punters, especially those who worked 9 to 5. Nowadays, the betting forecast in the Racing Post does not seem as influential as more and more people take notice of the early Betfair markets. However, it still has its place IMO and the question I asked myself was how accurate has it actually been?
