I think that those theories..... which I prefer to class as anecdotes...... have clearly caught some punters eye and clearly the occurrance (i.e. G Ryan getting 4 winners, #14 winning twice on one day, the top weight wins 4 out of 9, the short-priced maiden winners popped up twice, Following Brendan Tupper.... etc etc)....has repeated/occurred again.....

I wouldn't classify theses as serious systems and I doubt very much that the "intelligent" forum members - expect to profit from them - and would only actually follow thier "theory" (with very little capital investment - as you correctly pointed out it's too hard to win to donate back to them) - where they have not attempted their normal amount of analysis...... and would like to appease their desire to have a "small" wager...

IMHO, these theroies/annicdotes are similar to those threads such as - best jockey, luckiest win, top 5 horses..... memories that are recounted.... and of course are to be discounted as a "Real winning" theory..... but then again.... creativity opens doors to insight.......


Be Good !
