Crash,
I used the Telstra example to show that you have a disregard for accuracy. I never said you actually owned any.In fact that was obvious by your %17 gaff.Your other assertions in this thread are similarly innacurate. Lets look at taking $1.70 and winning 7 out of ten times. This represents %19 profit on turnover assuming level stakes.Hardly peanuts. In fact in todays market which is much more accurate than 20 years ago it is an excellent result.I am certain your own figures are not that good.Especially if you are betting on the place tote as you mentioned.If ever there was a case for not taking unders the place tote is it.
You also said that Lonhro won by a short half head when suggesting the race was an open affair. He won by almost half a length and was looked after in the last bit.After all it was his first assignment for the spring.The fact is the higher the class of horse the truer the form and these races are not usually as wide open as you suggest.
