Well we had our first winner which paid a whopping $1.20, get in the queue and don't spend it all at once :(

Becks is sacked but the rest stay in the blackbook.

Yesterday Tolo and Contrast raced in Sydney.

Contrast was another good run just missing out on the place and stays in the blackbook.

Tolo ran a very good race in a roughhouse affair and also stays in the blackbook.

This is going to be a long process, as I'm not adding any more horses until I see some kind of return on investment.

I haven't revisited this thread for a while, as it seemed to be that the punters are savvy enough to make the good performers well backed.

Here is an update though....

Note that most of the stable are now out spelling, so are no longer in the stable til they requalify.

Which brings me to a new angle for the blackbook....

Horses that run well are observed and bet on by the market, so there seems to be little profit in it, although I did do very well years ago with this angle.

So now I have another angle which I'll post here shortly.
