There is an old system which selects horses in the 1/1 - 7/2 range, ridden by one of the top three jockeys(or if you like, the top 3 strike-rate riders). If more than one runner qualifies, then back each or eliminate any that you choose to. This used to work extraordinarily well years ago but I haven't checked it for some time. Maybe one of the forum's stats experts may be able to monitor this method.

Cheers.


Xanadu,

Doesn't look too good.

Bear in mind that I selected my own jockeys and these stats are for about 8 months, so not limited to Spring Carnival.

Jockeys Considered
D Oliver
G Childs
K McEvoy

Tote Price Considered (at jump)
$2.00 => $4.50

Selections 130
Winners 36
Strike Rate 27.69%
Profit -$13.10
Profit On Turnover -10.08%
Average Dividend $3.25

Perhaps someone with a larger database can provide more feedback.

Incidentally, if you change the price to between $5.00 and $10.00.
Selections 242
Winners 39
Strike Rate 16.12%
Profit $27.40
Profit On Turnover 11.32%
Average Dividend $6.91
