reading the performance record
Question
What does it mean when a horse has (performance record)
5 starts - M -1 -2
What does the "M" refer to?
Thanks!
Answer
Hi Karen:
The "M" indicates that the horse is a "maiden" and has not won a race. Usually, the Racing Form would list it as a zero:
(5 0-1-2) 5 starts, 0 wins, 1 second, 2 thirds
but I guess some past-performance data bases use a letter designation.
