goldmember i really don't think short pause is a 300 dollar chance, even this prep it has thrown in a random good run - e.g. the Listed Japan Trophy at Flemington in september, it ran 3rd not beaten too far behind Maybe Better, and meets it better in the weights this time around. after that it was beaten 1.5 lengths in a randwick group 3 , half a length behind Activation. seems to like the bigger tracks, flemington should suit - as you said, the wet is a bonus and i think its a good place chance. i don't really think it will win, but if i leave it out of my trifecta i will be spewing!

sorry, i meant to swap it around from the win to the placings and put in either Tawqeet or Yeats, BUT, 1 remember VAN DER HUM , he had no chance in the cup but they had a down pour 30 min before and he was a $1.50 chance.maybe do a raindance!

Hi All,

Can anyone give me a basic rundown on ratings and handicaps and weights given to racehorses for all races how does this work?

Yes but the time is 2 second slower than SAAB.Also Yeats winning time in Londaon is way too slow.

I can't belive that I don't have a single one repeat that I can take out of my selection. Bighead act now. Left with 15 as I have added in Efficient and Maybe Better

1 YEATS (IRE) Aidan O'Brien K Fallon 4 59
2 DELTA BLUES (JPN) Katsuhiko Sumii Y Iwata 11 56
4 TAWQEET (USA) David Hayes D Dunn 9 55.5
6 HEADTURNER John Hawkes G Childs 19 54
8 ACTIVATION (NZ) Graeme Rogerson M Rodd 22 53
9 LAND 'N STARS (GB) Jamie Poulton J F Egan 6 53
11 ON A JEUNE Peter Montgomerie D Gauci 15 53
12 POP ROCK (JPN) Katsuhiko Sumii D Oliver 12 53
13 ZIPPING Graeme Rogerson G Boss 20 52.5
16 KERRY O'REILLY (NZ) Jim Gibbs C E Lammas 5 52
18 ART SUCCESS (NZ) John Collins A Pattillo 13 51.5
19 DEMERGER Danny O'Brien S Baster 23 51
22 DOLPHIN JO Terry & Karina O'Sullivan A Spiteri 18 50
23 MAYBE BETTER Brian Mayfield-Smith C Munce 3 50
24 EFFICIENT (NZ) Graeme Rogerson C Newitt 8 49

Have similar problem Matilda! Every time I review in an effort to decrease the number in my 'final' batch I end up adding another one or two! Not game to review anymore :rolleyes:

ON A JEUNE
Taken along quietly with this race in mind

Hello

How much would the following combination first four cost?

The numbers are not the horses i like...thats a big secret

1ST-1,2,3,4,5
2ND-1,2,3,4,5
3RD-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
4TH-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

is it 5x4x6x5=600 units

cheers

That is right, $600.

Which is better? Go for a trifecta or First 4? I am still scratching my head.

How much should I put on tri or first 4?. Have some many combo in my mind.

a) Box 8. 338 units = 168 for 1/2 unit.

b) Have confident of 1 placing selection and box that (stand out) with 10 horses. 90units X 3. = 135 for 1/2 unit.

c) Select 3 confident selection and box with 8 horses. 3/8/8, 8/3/8 and 8/8/3.
126 X 3 = 378. = 189 for half units.

d) 5/10/10. 360 units. =180 for half unit.

e) As what rabbitz has. 300 for half a units.

have manage to cut down to 10 selection af of now. keep going...Pls advise.
