Chrome,

Career starts are a key part of my main angle,i have spent years researching the matter,they may be just a number to some people but to me they speak volumes.

It is tricky to know just where to place your cut off point but the fact is it has to be placed somewhere,you do a little research and note when performance starts to drop and impliment the cut off point at this point.

It is true that a horse with 40 starts should be no better off than a horse with 41 but the rule isnt designed with individual horses in mind,you put it in place hoping that over a lenghty period of time those with more than 40 starts perform worse than those with 40.

My persoanl cut off point many would consider very harsh its way lower than 40,i have posted it on the forum many times,i think most think i'm crazy and find it illogical but having done my homwork and knowing what i know i would never change it or disregard it,also i dont have a bottom limit,(i use must have at least 1 win to take care of the younger ones).

P.S. whats the point of this thread anyhow?
