Hi, Bhagwan.

Re your 2 pt gap plan - I have been doing something fairly similar for some time, but the problem is that there is not too much action with my method and consequently I often lose interest.

Excluding Maiden races, I look at pre-post prices where the fave must be between the $2.20 to $3.00 range, then the second-fave must be at least twice the price of the fave. For example there was one such race yesterday which was Bendigo race 6. The p.p. fave was no.8 at $2.50 and the second fave was $5.50 which was scratched. However the third-fave was $7.00, and I more or less accepted that even with the scratching, the fave would not have reduced to less than the minimum price of $2.20 - so it was a qualifying race. There was also one qualifying race on Wednesday - Mackay R7 no.2. - it was unplaced.

As it was, the fave in yesterday's race was also unplaced. The Unitab quinella paid $600, and for the trifecta it paid $10,000. There were 11 runners in the race, so the divvies were exceptional.

I have not considered laying the p.p. fave as I have been more interested in the exotics. However, because of my on-and-off records show a poor strike rate for the fave I will now lay them. And to maintain my interest I will now start a new thread here listing the selections.
