Wink

I bet every selection to Win. Since last Monday when I began it has snared some good-priced winners including yesterday's $36.80. So far it has a 100% Win strike rate, which will probably end today. I would prefer to omit the fave but am unable to determine which horse that will be.

I select not less than half the field, minimum runners of 9, and box them all in quinellas. Again I would like to omit the fave as it drastically reduces the outlay, and it seems that the fave (especially if it is a dominant fave) is very often overbet in quinellas (and other exotics, especially the quaddies) producing an "unders" divvy. If 5 horses are selected the quinella outlay is $10, yet if the fave (or any other horse) is added then the outlay increases by 50% to $15, and if successful then the divvy can be "unders". It is an expensive exercise boxing half the field in quinellas but every now and then a good-priced divvy pops up. I'm hoping these low class races produce good divvies which since last Monday has happened somewhat more than expected. In spite of yesterday's poor quinella result it is still showing a healthy profit with a good strike rate.
