Hi, Wesmip1. Prior to limiting races to a minimum distance of 1,200 metres there were 144 races for 61 winners and a POT of 17.5%, and there were 104 placegetters for a POT of 6.8%. Since limiting to 1,200 metres-plus there have been 13 selections for 5 winners providing a POT of 8.4% but 8 placegetters for a LOT of 11.5.

I am also currently testing races of 7 runners (only 15 races at the moment) and 9 runners (25 races) where I "buy" the trifecta. For some reason there have been some terrific trifecta divvies for these races, maybe trifecta betting might be the way to go with these small fields - time will tell. Both systems are showing amazing profits - slightly in excess of 100% POT but this is due to one or two large divvies which can distort the POT. Yesterday I had the tri at Launceston R4 (9 runners) which paid $2,000 for an outlay of $210. Prior to that race, the system was showing in excess of 50% because of several divvies that paid more than the outlay (210 combinations out of a total of 504 possibe combinations). I'll wait for about 100 races with both methods, and if still in profit I'll list the selections here.

Yesterday from the four selections there were two winners paying $4.60, and three placegetters paying $3.90.

No selections today.
