Merryguy,
Thank you for your kind words, but being the shy retiring kind of bloke that I am, I can hardly put my puny efforts up against something like "The Best in Australia".
I am not in competition with anyone, tried it once, years ago on this forum, and was deemed to be "LUCKY", devoid of any handicapping talent, because I picked the same kind of winning longshots (incomprehensible as it is to closed minds) as I am picking now.

You are quite correct, the dumb horse doesn't know, but I DO!
If you just bet haphazardly it would make no sense to stop, but I do follow my ratings and I do know the strike rate and also the sequence of winners. and also the number of times (approximately) of a winning streak in a meeting. So me, stopping when ahead, makes perfect sense.

I see your point and raise you one!
How many winners are there in a race?
(Know what you mean, being frivolous here) I don't believe in frittering away the profits, once you make a decision stick to it!!
