Hi, Hammers.

You mention a hypothetical method that covers 3 years but with not too many selections.

I would feel more comfortable for a profitable system over a 3 year period because I would assume it would look at all types of races - low class ones to black type which would also include some races where horses are being run in unsuitable races solely to prepare them for a higher race. And also, the system is being bet during the four seasons of the year.

However, not knowing anything about your selection process I cannot really sugget that the time factor would be more important than the number of races to be bet, or vice-versa.

In spite of saying that, if there are multiple selections per race in your method I would be inclined to say that the number of races might then be of more importance than the time factor.

However, if I had a system that performed just as well as yours I think I would have put real money on it by now, even if it was a small amount. And if the strike rate continues then the staking plan can be even more aggressive. Imagine what Maria's result would have been if she had applied a higher percentage of her bank!

Good luck with it.
