A Very Simple Horse Racing System

[Glenno]

Only consider races that have eight or less runners, and the distance of the race must be >=1200 metres.
For each races that meets the above criteria, look at the tipsters' poll (the more tipsters, the better) and count the number of tipsters who have tipped the pre-post favourite as their top selection.
The tip of the day is the pre-post favourite that has the highest number of tipsters.
This system was from the website www.horseracingsystemsuk.com which I have adapted for Australian conditions. The comments from www.horseracingsystems.net were as follows: "This system is a no-brainer and a race can be worked out pretty quickly, although it does return short prices."

Are you ripping these systems out of the PPM for the last ten years.

Sorry did'nt read the whole lot. Answered my question, what we need to know is if they work.

The prepost favourite that has the most tipsters tipping it in a field of 8 or less,

It would need a bloody good strike rate considering the average price of the winners would probably be under $2. No offence Glenno, but I would shelve this one. I would probably think of laying any qualifyers on betfair, as they would be overbet to the max.
