Late mail

[partypooper]

an old subject I know, but it has been mentioned in another thread. My own research (not substantial) shows a BETTER than average result, but I'm only working on Saturdays, metro only. Can anyone confirm or deny this over a reasonable time frame??

Late Mail is often a good indication. Alf Matthews always selects well with his late mail and today at Sandwon was good. Late Mail is meant to be the best indication.

Oaksnaf, thanks for the feedback, I see lots of views here but very few reply's.
I am a place bettor so as there seems to be 30% S/R for the win I guess there is about 60-65 % S/R for the place????

Which on it's own doesn't inspire cartwheels, BUT I wonder if when combined with other criteria if it could be a winner.???? for a quick example, say TOP RATED (100) + pre-popst fav + late Mail,?????????????????

Anyone care to comment??

Pay attention for late mail specials then. And have a look at the totes.

i posted something similar on another thread...if the horse has been picked for both top picks and the latmail and is 100 back it for the place

[Bhagwan]

You will find that each sataes late mail, will be different to one another because they have their different ways of doing things.

If this is the case you are stuffed...i guess the best is to pick one state that has a good record and stick with it....the i refered to was on Unitab

True, but how many people would follow your selections and ruin the odds???

[partypooper]

better run that one past me again, slightly confused???

[Mr ed]

I cringe when i hear a horse i like are specials or late mails, sure they have a good strike rate but their odds are slashed and they are rarely value. And on an earlier post someone said back a place if two tipped it + late mail, i dont like punting to win my money back, it is a joke how many people listen to these tips. If you are not willing to do the form involved and just back other peoples tips, why bet? it cant be fun, and they're never value. Shane Templeton however is very good, by far the best tipster in Melbourne, you'd be better off taking his tips rather then the Late Mail.

[Merriguy]

Can understand your cringing, Mr Ed; but there can be some good returns. I have just made a post on the "Stop at 2 Winners" thread.

In 55 races yesterday and Wednesday where there was Late Mail given on Unitab, many of the place returns were paltry; but there were two at $3.80; one at $2.80; one at $2.10; and quite a few in the $1.80 - $1.90 area. I realise you are probably talking about returns for the win. I can't give the figures in that case; but I feel these figures are interesting.

[Horse Whisperer]

I know what you are saying Mr Ed about backing other ppls bets, when i get the form guide on fridays i wont consider the favourites in there. If it comes down to not liking any other horse in the race i wont bet.
