Thanks for that info. Actually I was thinking about my "short" post after I put it in. I guess to get a truer figure, one would have to eliminate maiden races for obvious reasons.

I really only bet on saturday sydney and melbourne events which pretty much excludes all maiden races. I dont use a mechanical system so to speak, but use a lot of in depth time analysis which involves sectional times.

A lot of my selections would be last start winners and this is why I was interested in the %. After about 4 months of checking my bets I realised that I had a much better strike rate if I eliminated horses from my black book after 21 days.

Thanks again,
Paul
