Hi Oz

If you're consistently making a profit, then maybe you're not missing anything. No-one who does ratings or handicaps races can be 100% right, 100% of the time. For what it's worth I place great importance on a horses win rate. And just using a few of your examples, it's great every time that a horse like Media goes around and is in the market. I automatically give it little or no hope of winning. Not so good when something like Spirit of Tara wins, as I place it in the same category.

As for suspicious goings on, I don't believe things are as bad as some make out. However, have a look at Prince Arthur in the first yesterday. Examine the betting, then watch the ride. Nobody will convince me that it was given every conceivable chance of winning.
