For the purposes of this system, you are going to have to produce (and maintain) two tables.
Table one will contain all horses which win any non-handicap races (with the exception of races restricted to apprentice jockeys or female jockeys) by a minimum of three lengths.
Once a horse qualifies for table one, you patiently wait for his next outing.
If his next race is a handicap, you delete this horse from table one.
If his next race is a non-handicap, you do not bet on him, but you note how he finishes.
If he wins, you delete him from table one. If he loses, you enter the winner of that race in table two; also note the date.
However, if the horse finishing second is within half a length of the winner and is handicapped on an higher weight than the winner, you would add the horse finishing second (instead of the winner) to table two, again not forgetting to include the date.
You do not have to see the race to discover these facts, simply examine the race report and look for the distances separating the first three past the post.
The horses that we place in table two are the ones that we are interested in backing. You back them in any race that they run in but for no more than three months from the date that they were first included in table two.
In the normal course of events, back each horse to win, but if it is at 4/1 or better, then halve your stake and have an each-way wager, assuming that there are eight or more runners in the field.
